Options that matter on site
- Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Braintree?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

High-speed doors in Braintree: your questions
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Braintree?
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.
How much does a high-speed door cost in Braintree?
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 Braintree opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Braintree?
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.
