What we fit in Hampton

Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.

Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.

What this work can involve

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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Hampton 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Door safety upgrades in Hampton: your questions

How much does a door safety upgrade cost in Hampton?

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 Hampton.

Our door at our Hampton 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.

Can you force-test our doors in Hampton?

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.
