Options for high-speed doors in Tyne and Wear

Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.

What this work can involve

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Tyne and Wear 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

Most installations in Tyne and Wear 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.
