What we fit in Gateshead
- Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
- Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Powered door rules that apply in Gateshead
Gateshead 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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

High-speed doors in Gateshead: your questions
Which type of high-speed door suits our Gateshead 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.
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Gateshead?
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.
How much does a high-speed door cost in Gateshead?
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 Gateshead opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
