Sectional overhead doors in Ashton-in-Makerfield

The short version

Sectional doors suit premises in Ashton-in-Makerfield that need a well-sealed, insulated opening that stays clear of the yard. We handle the survey, specification, installation and commissioning, then service the door if you want us to.

Town: Ashton-in-Makerfield
Postcode district: WN4
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Paperwork. Declaration of Performance, user instructions and commissioning records handed over on completion.
Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
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.
Insulated panels. Steel sandwich panels with a foam core keep heat in and noise out; thicker panels are available for temperature-controlled units.

What this work can involve

Supplying full-vision aluminium sections for a vehicle workshop door so technicians get daylight without opening the door.
Converting a manual chain-operated sectional door to electric operation with a shaft-mounted motor, safety edge and photocells.
Supplying sectional doors in a RAL colour matched to the existing cladding as part of a unit refurbishment between tenants.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Ashton-in-Makerfield 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.
