Door safety upgrades in Wisbech

The short version

Every safety upgrade in Wisbech starts with a free survey and force test of the door as it stands, followed by a written fixed price for the devices we recommend before any work starts.

Town: Wisbech
Postcode district: PE13
Area: Cambridgeshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Wisbech 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Cambridgeshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Door safety upgrades in Wisbech: your questions

Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Cambridgeshire?

Yes. We upgrade safety devices on most makes of powered door across Cambridgeshire, whoever installed them, checking that new devices are compatible with the existing control panel and replacing the panel where needed.

Our door at our Wisbech site has a bypassed safety edge. What should we do?

Stop using the door under power until the safety device is working, or use it on hold-to-run only if the risk assessment allows. We can replace the edge or fit alternative detection and re-test the door.

It depends on how they are controlled and used. Doors that close automatically or on a single press typically need edges and photocells or light curtains. A survey and force test shows whether your doors meet current expectations.
