Options for high-speed doors in Broadstairs
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- 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.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Broadstairs?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Broadstairs 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 Broadstairs?
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 Broadstairs 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.
