What to specify
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Powered door rules that apply in Hornchurch
Hornchurch 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

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