What we fit in Chester
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- 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
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Chester?
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
For busy sites in Cheshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about high-speed doors
Do you repair high-speed doors across Cheshire?
Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Cheshire, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.
Which type of high-speed door suits our Chester 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 Chester 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.
