What we fit in Greenwich
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
Powered door rules that apply in Greenwich
Greenwich 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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Door safety upgrades in Greenwich: your questions
Can you force-test our doors in Greenwich?
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.
How much does a door safety upgrade cost in Greenwich?
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 Greenwich.

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.
