Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Folkestone 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.
How the work is organised
Service and repair visits in Folkestone 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.

Questions from businesses in Folkestone
What should we do if a spring breaks on our Folkestone 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.
Do you repair fire shutters across Kent?
Yes. We repair fire shutters across Kent, using parts and methods that keep to the manufacturer's specification so the shutter continues to perform as tested, and we drop-test it after the repair to prove it closes.
Should we repair or replace our old door in Folkestone?
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.
