What we fit in Barnstaple

Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.
Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
Paperwork. Declaration of Performance, user instructions and commissioning records handed over on completion.
Finishes. RAL colours to match cladding, with stucco or woodgrain embossing on the outer skin.
Electric drives. Motorised operation with the controls you need, from a simple push-button station to induction loops and radar.

What this work can involve

Renewing torsion springs and lift cables on a busy loading bay door, with higher-cycle springs where the usage justifies them.
Supplying full-vision aluminium sections for a vehicle workshop door so technicians get daylight without opening the door.
Fitting a bank of insulated sectional doors to a new distribution unit, with high-lift tracks to clear sprinkler mains and lighting.

Powered door rules that apply in Barnstaple

Barnstaple 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Sectional overhead doors in Barnstaple: your questions

Which safety devices does a powered sectional door in Barnstaple need?

That comes from the risk assessment for your site, but typically a safety edge or light curtain, spring-break and cable-break protection and limited closing forces tested to BS EN 12453. Busy pedestrian routes may call for more.

Do you survey sites in Barnstaple before quoting?

Yes. Surveys for new and replacement doors are free. We measure the opening, headroom and obstructions, check the fixings and power supply, and discuss how the door will be used before we price it.

Will a sectional door reduce heating costs at our Barnstaple premises?

An insulated, well-sealed sectional door loses much less heat than a single-skin shutter, and keeping it closed with fast electric operation helps further. Actual savings depend on your building, heating and how often the door is open.
