Options that matter on site
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Typical scopes of work
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Chatham are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
Guide prices for high-speed doors

Guide prices for supply and installation unless stated, excluding VAT, which is added at the current rate where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after a survey, before any work starts.
Questions from businesses in Chatham
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Chatham 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 Chatham?
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 Kent?
Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across Kent, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.
