What we fit in Chichester
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
- 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.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
- Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Typical scopes of work
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Chichester?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Chichester vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

High-speed doors in Chichester: your questions
How long does it take to install a high-speed door in Chichester?
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.
What safety features will a high-speed door at our Chichester 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.
Do high-speed doors in Chichester 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.
