What we fit in Goole

Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.

Examples of work we can quote for

Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.

Powered door rules that apply in Goole

Goole 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in the East Riding of Yorkshire 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.

Yes. We measure closing forces with a calibrated tester at the points set out in BS EN 12453, record the results and recommend any adjustments or devices needed. Force testing can be part of a service visit.

Our guide price is £445 to £1,795 ex VAT per door for safety edges, photocells or a light curtain, depending on door size and devices. A new control panel or fall protection adds to it. We confirm the fixed price after a survey and force test in Goole.

Most upgrades take a few hours per door, including re-testing. If a new control panel is needed, it may take longer. We plan work to keep doors out of use for as short a time as possible.
