Town: Ilford
Postcode district: IG1
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.

What this work can involve

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Ilford?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

How the work is organised

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Ilford

Do high-speed doors in Ilford 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.

Do you repair high-speed doors across Greater London?

Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Greater London, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.

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

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.
