How we look after doors in Chester-le-Street
- Springs and cables. Stored-energy parts like springs are handled only by engineers with the right tools.
- Most makes. We work on doors from many manufacturers, not just the ones we supply.
- Impact damage. Bent guides, damaged laths and dented panels repaired or replaced.
- Clear pricing. Chargeable repair visits priced up front, with fixed quotes for parts.
- Make safe. If parts are on order, the engineer leaves the door safe and explains any limits.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Replacing a broken torsion spring and both lift cables on a sectional door, then rebalancing and testing the door.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Chester-le-Street?
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
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.
