Options for sectional overhead doors in Maidstone

Wicket doors. Integrated pass doors, including low-threshold versions, for staff access without opening the main door.
Electric drives. Motorised operation with the controls you need, from a simple push-button station to induction loops and radar.
Finishes. Choose a colour to match your building and a stucco or ribbed finish that hides minor knocks.
Safety devices. Spring-break and cable-break protection, safety edges, photocells or light curtains, set up to BS EN 12453.
Insulated panels. Steel sandwich panels with a foam core keep heat in and noise out; thicker panels are available for temperature-controlled units.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a bank of insulated sectional doors to a new distribution unit, with high-lift tracks to clear sprinkler mains and lighting.
Supplying sectional doors in a RAL colour matched to the existing cladding as part of a unit refurbishment between tenants.
Supplying full-vision aluminium sections for a vehicle workshop door so technicians get daylight without opening the door.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Maidstone?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in Kent the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
