What we fit in County Down

Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.

Typical scopes of work

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.

Powered door rules in Northern Ireland

County Down is in Northern Ireland, where workplace safety is regulated by HSENI under the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 require occupiers to keep powered doors safe and maintained. Under the Windsor Framework, EU machinery rules and CE marking continue to apply to powered doors placed on the market here, with the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 applying from 20 January 2027.

How the work is organised

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.

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

Which type of high-speed door suits our County Down 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.

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

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.
