What we fit in Lewisham

Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.

Examples of work we can quote for

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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 Lewisham

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

Which type of high-speed door suits our Lewisham 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.

Do high-speed doors in Lewisham 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.
