Replacing a failed control panel on a roller shutter whose motor tests in good working order.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Essex 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can you repair our door in Essex 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.

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