What to specify

Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.

What this work can involve

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Hove

Hove 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Questions from businesses in Hove

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Hove 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.

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

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.

Do you repair high-speed doors across East Sussex?

Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across East Sussex, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.
