High-speed doors in Sandown

At a glance

High-speed fabric and spiral doors for factories, warehouses and food sites in Sandown. 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: Sandown
Postcode district: PO36
Area: Isle of Wight
Survey: By arrangement

Options that matter on site

Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.

Jobs we can carry out

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Sandown?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Sandown vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions

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

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

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.

Do you repair high-speed doors across the Isle of Wight?

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