Options for high-speed doors in Northolt

Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Northolt 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Northolt?

A typical fabric door is fitted and commissioned in a day once it arrives. Spiral doors, interlocks and floor loops add time. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and we fit around your operations.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Northolt site?
