Building owners and facilities managers are aware that doors are an important part of the building and need to provide access, function correctly and also be a means of escape. Many already have service contract agreements in place and are always looking for value for money but not compromising the level of service they require.
Why are BH Doors different?
From the initial enquiry we answer the phone and reply to e mails promptly and understand that you may have an issue with a door right now, communication is the starting point.
It is important to attend site when convenient and eliminate any potential disruption to you, your building and your customers, never turn up unannounced.
Our surveys are free as we cannot provide a quotation until we have –
- visited site,
- assessed your equipment
- understand your procedures and requirements
From a compliance point of view automatic doors, manual doors and fire escapes should be maintained, tested and documented generally every 6 months or at least once per year.
We carry out a specific schedule of works to carry out for each different door type which is detailed within the service agreement and the correct amount of time and resources allocated to ensure your doors are safe, reliable and reducing overall costs. At BH Doors, we have used our experience, the manufacturers service specifications and legislation compliance to adopt these procedures for every customer and service contract we offer. The manufacturers may specify when service parts are replaced due to the amount of operations, so you may need to increase the amount of service visits and replacement of parts to ensure the safe and continued operation.
What will you see on site?

We believe that preventative maintenance servicing reduces the failure of equipment. This is backed up with the level of service you require as we understand that when a door fails it affects your business.
Our ethos is that we care about our customers, have pride in the work we carry out and be accountable at all times. This is why we understand that anybody in a position of ensuring that a building functions correctly and works to a budget requires:
- Fixed costs
- Minor repairs included
- Pre-planned service visits
- Same or next day response to emergency call outs
- Qualified and competent engineers
- Eliminated or minimised disruption during working
- Health and safety compliant designating safe working area
- Risk assessments and safe working practices
- Documentation for records
