Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Essex?
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
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.

Your questions about planned maintenance contracts
Can you service doors at several sites across the East of England?
Yes. We can set up planned maintenance across multiple sites in the East of England under one contract, with consistent reports and a combined asset register, and schedule visits to suit each site.
Do you service doors from other installers in Essex?
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.
How much is industrial door servicing in Essex?
Our guide price for planned maintenance is £85 to £175 ex VAT per door per visit, depending on door type and how many doors are on site. Fire shutter services are priced separately. The contract price for your Essex site is quoted in writing free of charge after we review your door details; the service visits themselves are chargeable.
