Planning and safety in Chatham
In Chatham, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Lifting and access: Large doors are installed with suitable access equipment and a site-specific method statement.
- Workplace safety: Powered doors in workplaces must be safe to use and kept maintained; that includes working safety edges or photocells and regular servicing.
- Power supply: Industrial motors may need a 3-phase supply or a dedicated circuit; we confirm what is on site at survey.

Industrial roller shutter doors in Chatham: questions
Can you replace a door in a working warehouse?
Yes. We plan the work to keep the bay out of action for as short a time as possible, often a single day for a like-for-like door.
How often should an industrial door be serviced?
Most busy doors are serviced every six months, quieter doors annually, so the safety devices and motor are checked regularly.
Do I need permission for industrial roller shutter doors in Chatham?
Possibly. New doors on industrial buildings can need planning permission if they change the elevation, and doors in fire compartment walls must suit the fire strategy. We recommend checking with your local council first.
