Area: Tyne and Wear
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
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.
Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.

Examples of work we can quote for

Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Whitley Bay

Whitley Bay 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

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

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

Do high-speed doors in Whitley Bay 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.
