What we fit in Birkenhead

Paperwork. You get the manufacturer's Declaration of Performance plus commissioning and test records for your files.
Track layouts. We pick the track after measuring headroom and obstructions, so the door clears lights, sprinklers and crane rails.
Finishes. RAL colours to match cladding, with stucco or woodgrain embossing on the outer skin.
Insulated panels. Steel sandwich panels with a foam core keep heat in and noise out; thicker panels are available for temperature-controlled units.
Safety devices. Spring-break and cable-break protection, safety edges, photocells or light curtains, set up to BS EN 12453.

Jobs we can carry out

Renewing torsion springs and lift cables on a busy loading bay door, with higher-cycle springs where the usage justifies them.
Replacing a draughty single-skin roller shutter with an insulated sectional door and a low-threshold wicket 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 Birkenhead?

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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Merseyside 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.
