The short version
Is a busy door at your Dagenham premises left open all shift because closing it slows everyone down? A high-speed door closes behind each forklift in seconds, keeping heat, dust and pests where they belong.

Options for high-speed doors in Dagenham
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Powered door rules that apply in Dagenham
Dagenham is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Questions from businesses in Dagenham
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Dagenham 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.
Do high-speed doors in Dagenham 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.
How much does a high-speed door cost in Dagenham?
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 Dagenham opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
