What to check in Ipswich before ordering
In Ipswich, 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.
- Power supply: Industrial motors may need a 3-phase supply or a dedicated circuit; we confirm what is on site at survey.
- Workplace safety: Powered doors in workplaces must be safe to use and kept maintained; that includes working safety edges or photocells and regular servicing.

Frequently asked 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.
