High-speed doors in Hounslow

The short version

Is a busy door at your Hounslow 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.

Town: Hounslow
Postcode district: TW3
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.

Jobs we can carry out

Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Hounslow 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Questions from businesses in Hounslow

How much does a high-speed door cost in Hounslow?

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 Hounslow opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.

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

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.

What safety features will a high-speed door at our Hounslow 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.
