What we fit in Acton

Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
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 Acton 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.

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.

Your questions about high-speed doors

Which type of high-speed door suits our Acton 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 you repair high-speed doors across Greater London?

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

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

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.
