High-speed doors in Burnley

In short

Is a busy door at your Burnley premises left open all shift because closing it slows everyone down? A high-speed door closes behind each forklift in seconds, keeping heat, dust and pests where they belong.

Town: Burnley
Postcode district: BB11
Area: Lancashire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.

What this work can involve

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Burnley 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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about high-speed doors

Do high-speed doors in Burnley 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 Burnley 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 much does a high-speed door cost in Burnley?

Our guide price is £7,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a high-speed fabric door and £17,995 to £34,995 for a spiral (rigid slat) door, supplied and fitted. We survey your Burnley opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
