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

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

Service and repair visits in Exeter 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.

Your questions about planned maintenance contracts

How often should our doors in Exeter be serviced?

At least once a year is industry practice, with six-monthly or quarterly visits for busy doors, harsh environments or where the manufacturer says so. We agree the interval for each door when setting up the contract.

Can you service doors at several sites across Devon?

Yes. We can set up planned maintenance across multiple sites in Devon under one contract, with consistent reports and a combined asset register, and schedule visits to suit each site.

Are repairs at our Exeter site included in the maintenance price?

No. The contract covers the scheduled visits. Parts and remedial work are quoted separately after each service, and repair call-outs between services are chargeable, so you stay in control of spending.
