What we fit in Gillingham
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
What this work can involve
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Gillingham 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
For busy sites in Kent the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Gillingham 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.
Which type of high-speed door suits our Gillingham 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.
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Gillingham?
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.
