In short
Sectional overhead doors for warehouses, workshops and loading bays in Dumfries and Galloway. We survey the opening, specify the panels, tracks and drive to suit how the door is used, then install and commission it with full handover paperwork.

Options that matter on site
- Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.
- 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.
- Paperwork. You get the manufacturer's Declaration of Performance plus commissioning and test records for your files.
- Safety devices. Every powered door is fitted with the safety functions its risk assessment needs and force-tested before handover.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Replacing a draughty single-skin roller shutter with an insulated sectional door and a low-threshold wicket door.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Dumfries and Galloway 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.
How the work is organised
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 doors are made to measure, so the manufacturer's lead time sets the date. We confirm it with the quote, book installation around your operations and fit most single doors in a day once the opening is ready.
Can you replace a roller shutter with a sectional door at our Dumfries and Galloway unit?
