Town: Newcastle-under-Lyme
Postcode district: ST5
Area: Staffordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Traffic passes freely. Nothing to open or close: traffic simply pushes through and the strips drop back.
Hook-on strips. Worn strips lift off and new ones hook on in seconds.
Ribbed strips. Raised ribs take forklift and pallet abrasion, keeping strips clearer for longer.
Sliding rails. Sliding or swing-away rails move the curtain clear for oversized loads.
Draught control. A curtain across the opening holds back draughts and helps keep temperatures steady.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing weld-screen strip curtains around welding bays in a fabrication workshop to protect nearby staff.
Replacing scratched, cloudy strips on a forklift route so drivers and pedestrians can see each other clearly.
Supplying polar-grade strips for a freezer doorway where standard PVC stiffens and cracks in the cold.

Traffic route rules that apply in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Strip curtains sit on workplace traffic routes, so in England the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 apply: traffic routes must be organised so pedestrians and vehicles can move safely (regulation 17) and kept in good repair (regulation 5). That is why clear strips, good visibility and prompt replacement of scratched or missing strips matter.

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.

Questions from businesses in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Which strip curtain grade suits our Newcastle-under-Lyme premises?

Standard clear PVC suits most ambient doorways. Polar grade is needed for chillers and freezers, ribbed strips for heavy forklift routes, and tinted grades for insect control or welding areas. We recommend a grade after seeing the opening.

How quickly can strip curtains be fitted in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

Once strips are cut to length, fitting usually takes an hour or two per doorway, so several openings can often be completed in one visit with very little disruption to your operations.

Is a strip curtain or a high-speed door better for our Newcastle-under-Lyme site?

A strip curtain costs far less and suits most openings. A high-speed door seals better, keeps a clear view and suits very busy or temperature-critical openings. We price both where either could work.
