Town: Blyth
Postcode district: NE24
Area: Northumberland
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.

What this work can involve

Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Blyth 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Blyth

Which type of high-speed door suits our Blyth 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.

Do high-speed doors in Blyth 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.

How much does a high-speed door cost in Blyth?

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 Blyth opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
