Options that matter on site
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Westminster 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
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.

Your questions about high-speed doors
Which type of high-speed door suits our Westminster 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 Westminster 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.
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Westminster?
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.
