What to specify
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- 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.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Christchurch?
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
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.

Your questions about high-speed doors
How much does a high-speed door cost in Christchurch?
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 Christchurch opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
Do high-speed doors in Christchurch 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.
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Christchurch?
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.
