What we fit in Suffolk
- Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.
- Finishes. RAL colours to match cladding, with stucco or woodgrain embossing on the outer skin.
- Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Renewing torsion springs and lift cables on a busy loading bay door, with higher-cycle springs where the usage justifies them.
- Converting a manual chain-operated sectional door to electric operation with a shaft-mounted motor, safety edge and photocells.
- Installing a sectional door on low-headroom tracks in a steel-framed unit where the roof haunch sits close above the opening.
Powered door rules that apply in Suffolk
Suffolk is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
