Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
Powered door rules that apply in Wiltshire
Wiltshire is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
Our door at our Wiltshire 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.
How much does a door safety upgrade cost in Wiltshire?
Our guide price is £445 to £1,795 ex VAT per door for safety edges, photocells or a light curtain, depending on door size and devices. A new control panel or fall protection adds to it. We confirm the fixed price after a survey and force test in Wiltshire.
Can you force-test our doors in Wiltshire?
Yes. We measure closing forces with a calibrated tester at the points set out in BS EN 12453, record the results and recommend any adjustments or devices needed. Force testing can be part of a service visit.
