Rules that apply in Blackpool
Blackpool 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.

Questions about high-speed roller doors in Blackpool
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.
What happens if a forklift hits it?
Many fabric doors have a self-repairing curtain that comes out of the guides on impact and re-feeds on the next cycle.
Is the survey free in Blackpool?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Blackpool are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for high-speed roller doors in Blackpool?
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.
