What the visit covers in Dorset
- Full checklist. Springs, cables, rollers, guides, drives and controls inspected and adjusted.
- Safety testing. Edges, photocells, light curtains and fall protection tested, with force tests.
- Scheduled visits. Each door is serviced as often as it needs, from yearly to quarterly.
- Asset register. A register of every door on site, kept up to date.
- Written reports. Clear reports for every door, showing what is urgent and what can be planned.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Setting up six-monthly servicing for a run of loading bay doors and dock levellers at a distribution centre.
- Combining door servicing with fire shutter drop tests so a site needs only one planned visit.
- Identifying a worn spring on a busy sectional door during a service and replacing it before it breaks.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Dorset 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

|---|---|
| Planned maintenance, per door per visit | £85 – £175 |

Questions from businesses in Dorset
Are repairs at our Dorset 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.
Do you service doors from other installers in Dorset?
Yes. We service most makes of industrial door and loading bay equipment, whoever fitted them. On the first visit we record each door's details and condition so future servicing and parts orders are straightforward.
Can servicing at our Dorset premises be done out of hours?
Yes. Visits can be scheduled for early mornings, evenings or weekends where doors cannot be taken out of use during the day. Any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown in the contract.
