The short version
Every safety upgrade in Cirencester 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.

- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Powered door rules that apply in Cirencester
Cirencester 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.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Cirencester can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions
Can you force-test our doors in Cirencester?
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.
Will a safety upgrade at our Cirencester premises include paperwork?
Yes. We record the devices fitted, the force test results and any changes to the control panel, and update the door's risk assessment, giving you written evidence that the door was checked and upgraded.
Our door at our Cirencester 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.
