What to specify
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
- Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
What this work can involve
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Southend-on-Sea workplaces are covered by regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: a door that can be pushed open from either side must give, when closed, a clear view of the space close to both sides, which is why swing doors on traffic routes have vision panels. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Essex 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 much do impact traffic doors cost in Southend-on-Sea?
Our guide price is £895 to £2,495 ex VAT for a pair of impact traffic doors, supplied and fitted. Material, size, insulation and vision panels set the price, which we confirm in writing after a free survey in Southend-on-Sea.
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around Essex?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Essex, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Southend-on-Sea warehouse?
Generally not. Forklifts are too heavy and fast for most traffic doors and quickly damage the leaves. For forklift routes we would usually recommend a high-speed door or a strip curtain instead.
