What our engineers check and fix
- Written reports. Findings, work done and recommendations recorded after each visit.
- Springs and cables. Stored-energy parts like springs are handled only by engineers with the right tools.
- Motors and controls. Electrical faults traced and fixed, from limit switches to complete drives.
- Impact damage. Bent guides, damaged laths and dented panels repaired or replaced.
- Safety devices. Safety functions are restored and checked so the door is safe to use again.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a failed control panel on a roller shutter whose motor tests in good working order.
- Changing worn rollers and hinges on a noisy sectional door before they fail and pull the panels out of line.
- Freeing seized trolleys on a heavy sliding door so it can be moved by hand again.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Dorset?
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
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.

Questions from businesses in Dorset
How soon can an engineer come to our site in Dorset?
We book visits as soon as we can and confirm the expected date when you call. We do not promise fixed response times. Photos of the fault help the engineer bring the right parts.
Do you repair fire shutters across the South West?
Yes. We repair fire shutters across the South West, using parts and methods that keep to the manufacturer's specification so the shutter continues to perform as tested, and we drop-test it after the repair to prove it closes.
Will our door in Dorset 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.
