How we look after doors in Dorchester

Impact damage. Vehicle damage put right so the door runs straight and seals properly again.
Most makes. We work on doors from many manufacturers, not just the ones we supply.

Make safe. Doors secured or restricted when parts are needed.
Clear pricing. You know the visit charge before we arrive and the repair price before we order.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a failed control panel on a roller shutter whose motor tests in good working order.
Replacing dented panels on a sectional loading door and adjusting the tracks so the door runs square.
Replacing a broken torsion spring and both lift cables on a sectional door, then rebalancing and testing the door.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Dorchester are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
