What we fit in Sheffield

Electric drives. Motorised operation with the controls you need, from a simple push-button station to induction loops and radar.
Paperwork. Declaration of Performance, user instructions and commissioning records handed over on completion.
Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.
Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.

What this work can involve

Fitting a bank of insulated sectional doors to a new distribution unit, with high-lift tracks to clear sprinkler mains and lighting.
Installing a sectional door on low-headroom tracks in a steel-framed unit where the roof haunch sits close above the opening.
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 Sheffield?

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

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.
