Sectional overhead doors in Margate

In short

We can install sectional overhead doors in Margate and across Kent, on new industrial units and as replacements for tired roller shutters. Every job starts with a free survey and ends with a commissioned, tested door.

Town: Margate
Postcode district: CT9
Area: Kent
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Vision panels. Add a row of vision panels or full-vision aluminium sections for daylight and a clear view of vehicles outside.
Paperwork. Declaration of Performance, user instructions and commissioning records handed over on completion.
Finishes. RAL colours to match cladding, with stucco or woodgrain embossing on the outer skin.
Insulated panels. 40 mm PU-insulated steel panels as standard, with thicker thermal panels where heat loss matters.
Safety devices. Every powered door is fitted with the safety functions its risk assessment needs and force-tested before handover.

What this work can involve

Replacing a draughty single-skin roller shutter with an insulated sectional door and a low-threshold wicket door.
Converting a manual chain-operated sectional door to electric operation with a shaft-mounted motor, safety edge and photocells.
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 Margate?

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.
