High-speed doors in Cornwall

The short version

Separating production from dispatch, chilled from ambient, or the yard from the warehouse in Cornwall? We supply and fit the high-speed door that suits that opening, then commission and hand it over with full documentation.

Area: Cornwall
Nation: England
Main town: Truro
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Cornwall?

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.

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

High-speed doors in Cornwall: your questions

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Cornwall?

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.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Cornwall 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.

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

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