Options for sectional overhead doors in Fishponds

Electric drives. Motorised operation with the controls you need, from a simple push-button station to induction loops and radar.
Insulated panels. Steel sandwich panels with a foam core keep heat in and noise out; thicker panels are available for temperature-controlled units.
Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.
Finishes. RAL colours to match cladding, with stucco or woodgrain embossing on the outer skin.
Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.

Examples of work we can quote for

Supplying sectional doors in a RAL colour matched to the existing cladding as part of a unit refurbishment between tenants.
Adding induction loops and an inverter drive so forklifts can open a busy internal sectional door without stopping.
Fitting a bank of insulated sectional doors to a new distribution unit, with high-lift tracks to clear sprinkler mains and lighting.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Fishponds?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Bristol the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
