What to specify
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- 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.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Powered door rules that apply in Atherton
Atherton is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Planning the work around your site
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair high-speed doors across Greater Manchester?
Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Greater Manchester, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Atherton?
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 Atherton 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.
