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.
- Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
- Paperwork. Declaration of Performance, user instructions and commissioning records handed over on completion.
- Safety devices. Every powered door is fitted with the safety functions its risk assessment needs and force-tested before handover.
- Finishes. RAL colours to match cladding, with stucco or woodgrain embossing on the outer skin.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Replacing a draughty single-skin roller shutter with an insulated sectional door and a low-threshold wicket door.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Somerset?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Somerset vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
