Sectional overhead doors in Melton Mowbray

The short version

Sectional overhead doors for warehouses, workshops and loading bays in Melton Mowbray. We survey the opening, specify the panels, tracks and drive to suit how the door is used, then install and commission it with full handover paperwork.

Town: Melton Mowbray
Postcode district: LE13
Area: Leicestershire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.
Finishes. RAL colours to match cladding, with stucco or woodgrain embossing on the outer skin.
Paperwork. Declaration of Performance, user instructions and commissioning records handed over on completion.
Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.
Electric drives. Shaft-mounted motors with push-button, remote, loop or radar control, and inverter drives for high-cycle bays.

Typical scopes of work

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

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Melton Mowbray are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
