High-speed doors for properties in Leicester
Leicester is part of our Leicestershire coverage, and addresses in the city's postcode districts are covered in the same way as the rest of Leicestershire. Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
High-cycle openings in Leicester, such as busy loading bays and forklift routes, are specified with the motor, controls and safety devices to match the traffic.
Installations at sites in Leicester are planned to keep a loading bay out of use for as short a time as possible.

What to check in Leicester before ordering
Leicester 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.

Frequently asked 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.
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.
How much do high-speed roller doors cost in Leicester?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Leicester confirms the specification and fixes the price.
Do I need permission for high-speed roller doors in Leicester?
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.
