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

High-speed roller doors in Dover: questions
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.
Can high-speed doors be used outside?
Yes, with wind-rated construction for the exposure of the opening.
Do I need permission for high-speed roller doors in Dover?
Possibly. 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. We recommend checking with your local council first.
Is the survey free in Dover?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Dover are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
