Options for sectional overhead doors in Farnborough

Insulated panels. Steel sandwich panels with a foam core keep heat in and noise out; thicker panels are available for temperature-controlled units.
Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
Electric drives. Motorised operation with the controls you need, from a simple push-button station to induction loops and radar.
Paperwork. You get the manufacturer's Declaration of Performance plus commissioning and test records for your files.
Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a bank of insulated sectional doors to a new distribution unit, with high-lift tracks to clear sprinkler mains and lighting.
Supplying full-vision aluminium sections for a vehicle workshop door so technicians get daylight without opening the 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 Farnborough?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace a roller shutter with a sectional door at our Farnborough 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.

How soon can a sectional door be fitted in Farnborough?

Sectional doors are made to measure, so the manufacturer's lead time sets the date. We confirm it with the quote, book installation around your operations and fit most single doors in a day once the opening is ready.

Which safety devices does a powered sectional door in Farnborough 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.
