What we fit in the Scottish Borders
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
- Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in the Scottish Borders 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around the Scottish Borders vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Which type of high-speed door suits our the Scottish Borders 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 long does it take to install a high-speed door in the Scottish Borders?
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.
How much does a high-speed door cost in the Scottish Borders?
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 the Scottish Borders opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
