Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Atherton 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
Service and repair visits in Atherton 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
Should we repair or replace our old door in Atherton?
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.
Can you repair our door in Atherton 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 Atherton 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.
