Fitting high-speed roller doors in Hitchin
We survey and install across Hertfordshire, and Hitchin is one of the towns covered. We also cover Letchworth Garden City, Stevenage and Luton, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
For reference, Hitchin lies about 21 miles north of Watford.
Each industrial door is specified for its own opening, so a site in Hitchin gets a door matched to its size, use and power supply rather than a single standard.
Installations at sites in Hitchin are planned to keep a loading bay out of use for as short a time as possible.

Frequently asked 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.
How much do high-speed roller doors cost in Hitchin?
We use the same UK guide prices in Hitchin; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
Do I need permission for high-speed roller doors in Hitchin?
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. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
