Options for high-speed doors in Hailsham

Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.

What this work can involve

Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Hailsham are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

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

Which type of high-speed door suits our Hailsham 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.

Do high-speed doors in Hailsham 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 Hailsham?

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.
