What we fit in Salford

Paperwork. Declaration of Performance, user instructions and commissioning records handed over on completion.
Electric drives. Shaft-mounted motors with push-button, remote, loop or radar control, and inverter drives for high-cycle bays.
Insulated panels. 40 mm PU-insulated steel panels as standard, with thicker thermal panels where heat loss matters.
Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.
Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.

Typical scopes of work

Installing a sectional door on low-headroom tracks in a steel-framed unit where the roof haunch sits close above the opening.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Salford

Salford 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which safety devices does a powered sectional door in Salford need?
