What we fit in Galashiels

Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.

What this work can involve

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.

Powered door rules that apply in Galashiels

Galashiels is in Scotland, 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions

Do you repair high-speed doors across the Scottish Borders?

Yes. We repair fabric and spiral high-speed doors across the Scottish Borders, including curtains, bottom bars, drives, inverters and safety devices, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable and quoted up front.

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

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.

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