What we fit in Oxfordshire

Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
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.

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.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.

Powered door rules that apply in Oxfordshire

Oxfordshire 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Oxfordshire 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.

High-speed doors in Oxfordshire: your questions

Do high-speed doors in Oxfordshire 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 long does it take to install a high-speed door in Oxfordshire?

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.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Oxfordshire 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.
