Options for high-speed doors in Wilmslow

Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
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.

What this work can involve

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.

Powered door rules that apply in Wilmslow

Wilmslow 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.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Wilmslow

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

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 Wilmslow opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.

Do high-speed doors in Wilmslow 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.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Wilmslow 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.
