Options that matter on site

Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.

Powered door rules that apply in Aberdeen

Aberdeen is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Keeping your site running during the work

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a high-speed door cost in Aberdeen?

Our guide price is £7,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a high-speed fabric door and £17,995 to £34,995 for a spiral (rigid slat) door, supplied and fitted. We survey your Aberdeen opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Aberdeen site?

Fabric doors suit most internal openings and many sheltered external ones. Spiral doors suit exposed external openings and sites that need insulation and security from the same door. We recommend a type after looking at traffic, exposure and temperature on the survey.

Do high-speed doors in Aberdeen need more servicing than standard doors?

Usually, yes, because they cycle so often. We base the service interval on the cycle counter and the manufacturer's guidance rather than a fixed annual visit, and can set up a planned maintenance schedule.
