Town: Peebles
Postcode district: EH45
Area: Scottish Borders
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Paperwork. You get the manufacturer's Declaration of Performance plus commissioning and test records for your files.
Safety devices. Spring-break and cable-break protection, safety edges, photocells or light curtains, set up to BS EN 12453.
Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
Insulated panels. Steel sandwich panels with a foam core keep heat in and noise out; thicker panels are available for temperature-controlled units.
Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.

What this work can involve

Supplying full-vision aluminium sections for a vehicle workshop door so technicians get daylight without opening the door.
Adding induction loops and an inverter drive so forklifts can open a busy internal sectional door without stopping.
Fitting a bank of insulated sectional doors to a new distribution unit, with high-lift tracks to clear sprinkler mains and lighting.

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

In Scotland, 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
