What we fit in Leyland
- Safety edges. Edges on the closing rail detect contact and send the door back up.
- Photocells. If something breaks the beam, the door will not close.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
Jobs we can carry out
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- 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 Leyland 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Leyland 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.
