Options for industrial door installation in Gateshead

Loading equipment. Dock levellers, shelters, seals, bollards and guide protection fitted alongside the door.
Aftercare. Once fitted, we can service the door on a schedule and repair it, along with doors from other installers.

Fixed price. You receive the price in writing once the survey is done, and it is agreed before anyone starts work.
All door types. One installer for every common industrial door, from simple shutters to fire-rated and high-speed doors.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing corroded roller shutters on a vehicle workshop with insulated roller doors and new key-switch controls.
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.

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Tyne and Wear 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.

Frequently asked questions

Who signs off a new powered door at our Gateshead 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.

Can you replace an old door at our Gateshead 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.

Do you service and repair industrial doors across Tyne and Wear?

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