Postcode district: IG10
Area: Essex
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Insulated panels. Steel sandwich panels with a foam core keep heat in and noise out; thicker panels are available for temperature-controlled units.
Electric drives. Motorised operation with the controls you need, from a simple push-button station to induction loops and radar.
Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.
Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.
Safety devices. Spring-break and cable-break protection, safety edges, photocells or light curtains, set up to BS EN 12453.

What this work can involve

Converting a manual chain-operated sectional door to electric operation with a shaft-mounted motor, safety edge and photocells.
Replacing a draughty single-skin roller shutter with an insulated sectional door and a low-threshold wicket door.
Adding induction loops and an inverter drive so forklifts can open a busy internal sectional door without stopping.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
