Today we serviced 2 automatic sliding doors at Tresham College in Corby, Northamptonshire as part of our contract with Bedford College as this is one of the Campuses within the group.

We have a specific schedule of works we carry out for each different door type which is detailed within our servicing. We have used our experience, the manufacturers service specifications and legislation compliance to adopt these procedures for every customer and service contract we offer.

Some of these include inspecting all mechanical components and cleaning sensors, etc. This means that the correct amount of time and engineers’ resource is allocated to ensure your doors are safe, reliable and reducing overall costs. Preventative maintenance servicing reduces the failure of equipment. This is backed up with the level of service our customers require as we understand that when a door fails it affects your business.

Our service contract agreement is a fixed cost per visit and is based upon the amount and type of doors within your building. We always arrange with the customer the most convenient date to reduce the disputation as generally the automatic doors are on the main entrance to a building.

During the PPM service the automatic door systems were –

• inspected
• cleaned
• tested for opening by the fire alarm system
• tested for escape via the access control system

On completion a risk assessment checklist was carried out on the door for the records of the College and left in working order.

Northamptonshire is one of the areas we cover including Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire,Suffolk, Essex, Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, allowing us to provide the level of service our customers require should they also have a problem with their commercial doors.
