Options that matter on site
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
- Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Powered door rules that apply in West Sussex
West Sussex 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in West Sussex?
A typical fabric door is fitted and commissioned in a day once it arrives. Spiral doors, interlocks and floor loops add time. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and we fit around your operations.
Do high-speed doors in West Sussex 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 West Sussex?
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 West Sussex opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
