Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in South Ockendon

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in South Ockendon 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.

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.
