Choosing a commercial sectional door for a home in Kelso
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.
What are the duties at work?
Powered doors in workplaces must be safe and maintained. In Great Britain that falls under workplace and work equipment law, and in Northern Ireland under its equivalent regulations. Regular servicing with records is the practical way to show the door is kept safe.

What will a commercial sectional door cost in Kelso?

At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
Do you need permission in Kelso?
The planning authority for Kelso is Scottish Borders Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.
Scotland has no Part P, but the socket or spur for an operator should be installed and certified to BS 7671.
At work, powered doors must also be maintained under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Questions from Kelso customers
Do you fit loading bay equipment?
No. We fit sectional doors to workshops and small units. Dock levellers, shelters and full loading bays need a specialist industrial door company.

Yes. Powered doors at work should be maintained and checked regularly, with records kept.
Do you cover Kelso?
Yes. We cover Kelso, including postcode districts TD5. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Kelso?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, check with Scottish Borders Council.
