Postcode district: L37
Area: Merseyside
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.
Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.
Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Formby?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
