Town: Peebles
Postcode district: EH45
Area: Scottish Borders
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.
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.
Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
Controls. From a simple button station to loops and radar, the controls match how often the door opens.

What this work can involve

Converting a hand-chained insulated roller door to electric operation with a safety edge and photocells.
Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.
Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.

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

In Scotland, 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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
