What we fit in Kendal

Finishes. Choose a colour to match your building and a stucco or ribbed finish that hides minor knocks.
Track layouts. We pick the track after measuring headroom and obstructions, so the door clears lights, sprinklers and crane rails.
Wicket doors. Integrated pass doors, including low-threshold versions, for staff access without opening the main door.
Vision panels. Add a row of vision panels or full-vision aluminium sections for daylight and a clear view of vehicles outside.
Electric drives. Shaft-mounted motors with push-button, remote, loop or radar control, and inverter drives for high-cycle bays.

Typical scopes of work

Adding induction loops and an inverter drive so forklifts can open a busy internal sectional door without stopping.
Renewing torsion springs and lift cables on a busy loading bay door, with higher-cycle springs where the usage justifies them.
Replacing a draughty single-skin roller shutter with an insulated sectional door and a low-threshold wicket door.

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

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

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.
