What to specify
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Streatham 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 Streatham 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.

Guide prices for supply and installation unless stated, excluding VAT, which is added at the current rate where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after a survey, before any work starts.
Questions from businesses in Streatham
How long does a safety upgrade take in Streatham?
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.
Do our powered doors in Streatham need safety upgrades?
It depends on how they are controlled and used. Doors that close automatically or on a single press typically need edges and photocells or light curtains. A survey and force test shows whether your doors meet current expectations.
Our door at our Streatham 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.
