Options that matter on site
- Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
- Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
- Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.
- Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.
- Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.
- Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.
- Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Walkden 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
Most installations in Walkden can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
