What we fit in Chelmsford
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Jobs we can carry out
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Chelmsford 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.
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.

High-speed doors in Chelmsford: your questions
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Chelmsford?
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 Chelmsford?
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 Chelmsford opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
Do high-speed doors in Chelmsford 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.
