What to specify
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
What this work can involve
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Powered door rules that apply in Slough
Slough is in England, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Slough?
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.
