High-speed doors in Suffolk

In short

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

What we fit in Suffolk

Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.

Examples of work we can quote for

Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Suffolk?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

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.

High-speed doors in Suffolk: your questions

Which type of high-speed door suits our Suffolk 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 much does a high-speed door cost in Suffolk?

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 Suffolk opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.

Do high-speed doors in Suffolk 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.
