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

Options that matter on site
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
- 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.
Powered door rules that apply in Taunton
Taunton 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.
How the work is organised
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
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Taunton 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.
Do high-speed doors in Taunton 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 Taunton?
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 Taunton opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
