High-speed doors in Didcot

In short

High-speed fabric and spiral doors for factories, warehouses and food sites in Didcot. We survey the opening, look at your traffic and set up activation and safety so the door opens when needed and closes straight after.

Town: Didcot
Postcode district: OX11
Area: Oxfordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.

What this work can involve

Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.

Powered door rules that apply in Didcot

Didcot 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.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Didcot 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 Didcot

Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Didcot?

Often, yes. A high-speed door can sit inside or outside an existing shutter or sectional door, with the conventional door closed at night. We check the space and fixings on survey.

Do high-speed doors in Didcot 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.

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