Our high-speed roller doors service in Colchester
Colchester sits some 21 miles to the north-east of Chelmsford.
Each industrial door is specified for its own opening, so a site in Colchester gets a door matched to its size, use and power supply rather than a single standard.
Where several doors on one site in Colchester need work, they can be surveyed together and put on a single maintenance schedule afterwards.
We cover Colchester and the CO1 postcode district as part of Essex; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Other towns nearby that we cover include Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham.

Rules that apply in Colchester
Colchester is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Safety: Light curtains and activation zones are commissioned on site so the door cannot close on people or vehicles in the opening.
- Maintenance: High cycle counts mean more frequent servicing than ordinary roller doors.

High-speed roller doors in Colchester: questions
Can high-speed doors be used outside?
Yes, with wind-rated construction for the exposure of the opening.
Why use a high-speed door instead of a roller shutter?
Where a door opens many times an hour, a fast door is only open while traffic passes, which saves energy and keeps areas separate.
Do I need permission for high-speed roller doors in Colchester?
It depends on the property. New doors on industrial buildings can need planning permission if they change the elevation, and doors in fire compartment walls must suit the fire strategy. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Is the survey free in Colchester?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Colchester are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
