Sectional overhead doors in Ilford

In short

We can install sectional overhead doors in Ilford and across Greater London, on new industrial units and as replacements for tired roller shutters. Every job starts with a free survey and ends with a commissioned, tested door.

Town: Ilford
Postcode district: IG1
Area: Greater London
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.
Wicket doors. Integrated pass doors, including low-threshold versions, for staff access without opening the main door.
Track layouts. We pick the track after measuring headroom and obstructions, so the door clears lights, sprinklers and crane rails.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Renewing torsion springs and lift cables on a busy loading bay door, with higher-cycle springs where the usage justifies them.
Installing a sectional door on low-headroom tracks in a steel-framed unit where the roof haunch sits close above the opening.
Adding induction loops and an inverter drive so forklifts can open a busy internal sectional door without stopping.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Ilford 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
