What we fit in Waterlooville
- 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.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- 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 Waterlooville 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.
How the work is organised
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
