Industrial door installation in Formby

At a glance

Facilities and site managers in Formby can use one contractor to specify, install and commission industrial doors and the loading equipment around them, so one team is responsible for the whole opening.

Town: Formby
Postcode district: L37
Area: Merseyside
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

All door types. Roller shutters, insulated roller, sectional, high-speed, fire, sliding, hangar and cold store doors.
Drives and controls. Motors sized to the door and controls matched to your traffic, from a key switch to induction loops.
Fixed price. You receive the price in writing once the survey is done, and it is agreed before anyone starts work.
Safety set-up. Powered doors fitted with safety edges or light curtains and force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Loading equipment. The door, leveller, shelter and impact protection are specified together so the whole bay works as one.

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.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing shutter so the main door can stay open through the working day.
Phasing the replacement of several loading bay doors over consecutive weekends so goods-in stays open during the week.

Powered door rules that apply in Formby

Formby is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in Merseyside the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Industrial door installation in Formby: your questions

Can you replace an old door at our Formby unit and take the old one away?

Yes. Strip-out and disposal of the old door is priced as a separate line, along with any new framing or making good the opening needs. We confirm these details at survey so nothing is left to agree on the day.

Who signs off a new powered door at our Formby site?

When we assemble or motorise a door, we take on the manufacturer's role under machinery law: risk assessment, testing, conformity marking and the Declaration of Conformity. You then keep the door maintained as the employer or occupier.

Do you service and repair industrial doors across Merseyside?

Yes. We repair and maintain the doors we install and most other makes across Merseyside. Repair and service visits are chargeable, and a planned maintenance schedule can be set up once the new door is in.
