What should you know about commercial sectional doors in South Glamorgan?
What size of premises do you cover?
This page covers workshops, small units, garages for vans and plant, and farm buildings. For large loading bays with dock levellers and shelters, a specialist industrial installer is the right route.
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Service planPlanned maintenance with records.
- Shaft operatorFor heavier doors and frequent use.
- Pass doorPedestrian door within the panels.
- High-cycle springsFor doors that open many times a day.
- Vision panelsGlazed rows for light and visibility.
How much does a commercial sectional door cost in South Glamorgan?
Guide price: from £3,500 + VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
What rules apply in South Glamorgan?
In Wales, replacing a garage door with one of similar appearance is normally treated as minor work that does not need planning permission. Listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and any planning conditions on your property can change that, so check with your local planning authority first if any of these apply.
Planning authorities in South Glamorgan include Cardiff Council and Vale of Glamorgan Council.
In Wales the notifiable electrical work rules are wider than in England: a new circuit, and supplies to a detached garage or outbuilding, are notifiable. If your garage is detached or needs a new circuit, the electrical work is 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.
