Planned maintenance contracts in Kent

In short

Keeping track of door servicing across a site in Kent? A planned contract puts every door, leveller and shelter on a schedule, with written records you can show to insurers, auditors and landlords.

Area: Kent
Nation: England
Main town: Maidstone
Guide price: £85 – £175

What's included

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.
Loading bays. Loading bay equipment is covered alongside the doors, saving separate visits.
Full checklist. Every mechanical and electrical part checked, adjusted and lubricated as needed.
Most makes. Whoever installed them, we service most makes of door and loading equipment.

Jobs we can carry out

Combining door servicing with fire shutter drop tests so a site needs only one planned visit.
Servicing every loading door at a distribution site at weekends so goods-in runs normally during the week.
Setting up six-monthly servicing for a run of loading bay doors and dock levellers at a distribution centre.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Kent 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

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.

Questions from businesses in Kent

Do you service doors from other installers in Kent?

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.

What records do we get after servicing in Kent?

A written report for each door covering checks, safety and force test results, defects ranked by urgency and recommended actions, plus an asset register of every door on your site if you want one.

Can servicing at our Kent 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.
