Options that matter on site

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.

Typical scopes of work

Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.

Powered door rules that apply in Seaford

Seaford 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.

Planning the work around your site

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
