High-speed doors in Wigan

Quick answer

High-speed fabric and spiral doors for factories, warehouses and food sites in Wigan. We survey the opening, look at your traffic and set up activation and safety so the door opens when needed and closes straight after.

Town: Wigan
Postcode district: WN1
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.

Typical scopes of work

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.

Powered door rules that apply in Wigan

Wigan 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.

How the work is organised

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.

Questions from businesses in Wigan

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Wigan?

Often, yes. A high-speed door can sit inside or outside an existing shutter or sectional door, with the conventional door closed at night. We check the space and fixings on survey.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Wigan 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 Wigan 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.
