Town: Aldershot
Postcode district: GU11
Area: Hampshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.

Typical scopes of work

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
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 Aldershot

Aldershot 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about high-speed doors

Do high-speed doors in Aldershot 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.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Aldershot 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 you repair high-speed doors across Hampshire?

Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Hampshire, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.
