What should you know about commercial sectional doors in West Glamorgan?
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 operator suits a commercial door?
Shaft-mounted operators are common on commercial sectional doors because they handle heavier doors and higher use. Three-phase power is typical, though single-phase versions exist.
Which options can you choose?
- Vision panelsGlazed rows for light and visibility.
- Pass doorPedestrian door within the panels.
- Service planPlanned maintenance with records.
- Shaft operatorFor heavier doors and frequent use.
- High-cycle springsFor doors that open many times a day.
How much does a commercial sectional door cost in West Glamorgan?
Guide price: from £3,500 + VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
What rules apply in West 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 West Glamorgan include Neath Port Talbot Council and Swansea 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.
