What we fit in Tunbridge Wells

No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Tunbridge Wells?

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

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.
