What this work can involve

Supplying a bottom-rolling sliding door for a wide opening where there is no headroom for a coiled or tracked door.
Installing a fire shutter in a compartment wall where a conveyor line passes between production and dispatch areas.
Phasing the replacement of several loading bay doors over consecutive weekends so goods-in stays open during the week.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Leicester?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

How the work is organised

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
