Written reports. Clear reports for every door, showing what is urgent and what can be planned.
Safety testing. Edges, photocells, light curtains and fall protection tested, with force tests.
Flexible timing. Services can be scheduled around your operations, including outside working hours.

What this work can involve

Combining door servicing with fire shutter drop tests so a site needs only one planned visit.

Powered door rules that apply in Hitchin

Hitchin is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
