Options that matter on site
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Reading?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Reading can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions
Do high-speed doors in Reading 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.
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Reading premises have?
Typically a full-height light curtain or photocells, limited closing forces, and on many fabric models a soft or breakaway bottom edge. The exact package comes from the risk assessment for your traffic and is tested before handover.
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Reading?
Often, yes. A high-speed door can sit inside or outside an existing shutter or sectional door, with the conventional door closed at night. We check the space and fixings on survey.
