What we fit in Surbiton
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
What this work can involve
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Surbiton 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Surbiton 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.

Questions from businesses in Surbiton
Do you upgrade doors from other installers across Greater London?
