What we fit in Swanley
- Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.
- Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.
- Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
- Controls. From a simple button station to loops and radar, the controls match how often the door opens.
- Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Jobs we can carry out
- Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.
- Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.
- Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Swanley 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
