Options for sectional overhead doors in Berkshire
- Vision panels. Glazed rows or full-vision sections bring daylight in and let drivers see the yard.
- Track layouts. We pick the track after measuring headroom and obstructions, so the door clears lights, sprinklers and crane rails.
- Electric drives. Shaft-mounted motors with push-button, remote, loop or radar control, and inverter drives for high-cycle bays.
- Insulated panels. 40 mm PU-insulated steel panels as standard, with thicker thermal panels where heat loss matters.
- Safety devices. Spring-break and cable-break protection, safety edges, photocells or light curtains, set up to BS EN 12453.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a bank of insulated sectional doors to a new distribution unit, with high-lift tracks to clear sprinkler mains and lighting.
- Installing a sectional door on low-headroom tracks in a steel-framed unit where the roof haunch sits close above the opening.
- Supplying sectional doors in a RAL colour matched to the existing cladding as part of a unit refurbishment between tenants.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Berkshire 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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in the South East the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
How soon can a sectional door be fitted in Berkshire?
Sectional doors are made to measure, so the manufacturer's lead time sets the date. We confirm it with the quote, book installation around your operations and fit most single doors in a day once the opening is ready.
Can you replace a roller shutter with a sectional door at our Berkshire unit?
Usually, yes, provided there is enough headroom and side room for the tracks. Low-headroom track kits cover many older units. We check this on the survey and include strip-out and making good in the quote.
Which safety devices does a powered sectional door in Berkshire need?
That comes from the risk assessment for your site, but typically a safety edge or light curtain, spring-break and cable-break protection and limited closing forces tested to BS EN 12453. Busy pedestrian routes may call for more.
