What we fit in Gravesend

Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.

What this work can involve

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.

Powered door rules that apply in Gravesend

Gravesend 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Gravesend 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.

Questions from businesses in Gravesend

Do high-speed doors in Gravesend 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.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Gravesend 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.

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