Options that matter on site

Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.

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.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.

Powered door rules that apply in Ashford (Kent)

Ashford (Kent) 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

Most installations in Ashford (Kent) can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about high-speed doors

How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Ashford (Kent)?

A typical fabric door is fitted and commissioned in a day once it arrives. Spiral doors, interlocks and floor loops add time. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and we fit around your operations.

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Ashford (Kent)?

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 high-speed doors in Ashford (Kent) 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.
