Options that matter on site
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Powered door rules that apply in Barnstaple
Barnstaple 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.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair high-speed doors across Devon?
Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Devon, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Barnstaple?
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.
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Barnstaple 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.
