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

Options for high-speed doors in Hertfordshire
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Typical scopes of work
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
- 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.
Powered door rules that apply in Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire 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
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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a high-speed door cost in Hertfordshire?
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 Hertfordshire opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
Do high-speed doors in Hertfordshire 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.
Do you repair high-speed doors across the East of England?
Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across the East of England, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.
