What we fit in Blackheath

Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.

Typical scopes of work

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Blackheath 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

High-speed doors in Blackheath: your questions

Which type of high-speed door suits our Blackheath 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 Blackheath 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.

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

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.
