Commercial sectional doors for workshops and units in Maesteg

What should Maesteg homeowners know about commercial sectional doors?

How is it different from a domestic door?

Commercial doors open more often and are often bigger, so they use springs rated for higher cycle counts, heavier hardware and operators built for frequent use. The safety requirements for powered doors at work also apply.

Can a commercial door be insulated?

Yes. Insulated panels are standard on most commercial sectional doors and help heated workshops keep costs down.

Do you need permission in Maesteg?

The planning authority for Maesteg is Bridgend Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.

In Wales a like-for-like garage door is normally minor work outside planning control. Listed buildings, conservation areas and planning conditions are the exceptions to check.

Welsh rules on notifiable electrical work are wider than England's, so detached garages and new circuits are handled by a registered electrician.

At work, powered doors must also be maintained under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
