Options for high-speed doors in Bow
- Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Bow 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.

Frequently asked questions
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Bow 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.
How much does a high-speed door cost in Bow?
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 Bow opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
Which type of high-speed door suits our Bow 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.
