What we fit in Canvey Island

Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Canvey Island are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

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.
