Options that matter on site

Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.
Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
Paperwork. You get the manufacturer's Declaration of Performance plus commissioning and test records for your files.
Finishes. Choose a colour to match your building and a stucco or ribbed finish that hides minor knocks.
Safety devices. Every powered door is fitted with the safety functions its risk assessment needs and force-tested before handover.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Replacing a draughty single-skin roller shutter with an insulated sectional door and a low-threshold wicket door.

Powered door rules that apply in Gillingham

Gillingham 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.

Planning the work around your site

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

An insulated, well-sealed sectional door loses much less heat than a single-skin shutter, and keeping it closed with fast electric operation helps further. Actual savings depend on your building, heating and how often the door is open.
