Options that matter on site

Insulated panels. Steel sandwich panels with a foam core keep heat in and noise out; thicker panels are available for temperature-controlled units.
Finishes. Choose a colour to match your building and a stucco or ribbed finish that hides minor knocks.
Electric drives. Motorised operation with the controls you need, from a simple push-button station to induction loops and radar.
Paperwork. You get the manufacturer's Declaration of Performance plus commissioning and test records for your files.
Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Renewing torsion springs and lift cables on a busy loading bay door, with higher-cycle springs where the usage justifies them.

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

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

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.
