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

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.

Planning the work around your site

Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Questions from businesses in Runcorn

What should we do if a spring breaks on our Runcorn door?

Stop using the door, keep people clear of the area beneath it and do not try to open it with the motor. Call for a repair; springs store energy and should only be handled by a trained engineer.

Will our door in Runcorn be fixed on the first visit?

Many faults are fixed on the first visit. Where springs, panels, motors or curtains need ordering, we make the door safe, quote a fixed price for the repair and return to fit the parts.

Can you repair our door in Runcorn if you did not fit it?

Yes. We repair most makes of roller shutter, sectional, high-speed, sliding and fire door, whoever installed them. If original parts are no longer made, we look for compatible alternatives before suggesting anything bigger.
