What this work can involve

Replacing a failed control panel on a roller shutter whose motor tests in good working order.
Re-feeding a derailed roller shutter curtain into its guides and straightening a guide bent by vehicle impact.
Replacing a broken torsion spring and both lift cables on a sectional door, then rebalancing and testing the door.

Powered door rules that apply in Seaham

Seaham is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Keeping your site running during the work

Service and repair visits in Seaham are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.

Your questions about industrial door repairs

Can you repair our door in Seaham 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.

Should we repair or replace our old door in Seaham?

Repair is usually the first step. If the door has several faults, keeps failing or parts are no longer made, we price replacement alongside the repair so you can compare cost and remaining life.

What should we do if a spring breaks on our Seaham 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.
