Options that matter on site
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Ross-on-Wye 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
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.
