What to specify
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
Jobs we can carry out
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Yate 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Yate 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.

Your questions about door safety upgrades
How much does a door safety upgrade cost in Yate?
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 Yate.
How long does a safety upgrade take in Yate?
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.
Will a safety upgrade at our Yate 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.
