Options for high-speed doors in Berkshire
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Typical scopes of work
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Berkshire are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Berkshire vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Berkshire
Do high-speed doors in Berkshire 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.
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Berkshire?
A typical fabric door is fitted and commissioned in a day once it arrives. Spiral doors, interlocks and floor loops add time. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and we fit around your operations.
How much does a high-speed door cost in Berkshire?
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 Berkshire opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
