What we fit in Walkden

Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.

Examples of work we can quote for

Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

Powered door rules that apply in Walkden

Walkden 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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

Which type of high-speed door suits our Walkden 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.

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

How much does a high-speed door cost in Walkden?

Our guide price is £7,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a high-speed fabric door and £17,995 to £34,995 for a spiral (rigid slat) door, supplied and fitted. We survey your Walkden opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
