Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.
Safety devices. Spring-break and cable-break protection, safety edges, photocells or light curtains, set up to BS EN 12453.
Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Supplying full-vision aluminium sections for a vehicle workshop door so technicians get daylight without opening the door.
Renewing torsion springs and lift cables on a busy loading bay door, with higher-cycle springs where the usage justifies them.
Adding induction loops and an inverter drive so forklifts can open a busy internal sectional door without stopping.

Powered door rules that apply in Hornchurch

Hornchurch 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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Hornchurch

Can you replace a roller shutter with a sectional door at our Hornchurch unit?

Usually, yes, provided there is enough headroom and side room for the tracks. Low-headroom track kits cover many older units. We check this on the survey and include strip-out and making good in the quote.

Do you survey sites in Hornchurch 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.

Which safety devices does a powered sectional door in Hornchurch 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.
