Options that matter on site

Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.

What this work can involve

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Northolt?

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

Most installations in Northolt can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
