Aluminium glazing and automatic doors in Colchester

In short

We design, make and install aluminium curtain walling, shopfronts, windows, doors, louvres, steel doors and roller shutters across Colchester, and we service and repair automatic doors there. Everything is fabricated and powder coated in our own factory on Canvey Island.

Our work in Colchester

North east Essex is a regular run for us. We completed the frontage at Morrisons in Clacton-on-Sea, took on the Clacton Trade Park scheme and carried out the Avery care home at Braintree Mews, and further back the Five Lakes Hotel at Colchester. Colchester itself has a lot of listed and older fabric in the centre, which pushes work towards sympathetic replacement rather than wholesale reglazing, while the newer retail and business parks on the ring road are conventional curtain walling and entrance packages. The garrison and the university add a steady stream of institutional work in the surrounding area.

Frequently asked questions

How often does an automatic door need servicing?

Twice a year. Automatic doors fall under the machinery regulations, and to conform to EN 16005 they should be maintained twice annually. Our service team provides six monthly visits planned in advance so the building is not caught out.

Servicing and repair

What does a service contract include?

Our service contract guarantees prioritised call outs at fixed rates and discounted spare parts, on top of the planned six monthly visits. We cover automatic doors, manual doors and roller shutters.

What a contract covers

Can you service doors you did not install?

Yes. A large part of our service work is on third party equipment. The first visit establishes what is on site and what condition it is in, and the schedule is set from there.

Servicing and repair contracts

What happens if a door breaks down?

Log a call and we will get an engineer to you. Contract customers get prioritised call outs at fixed rates. Our engineers are based throughout the UK rather than working out of one depot.
