Prospecton is automotive and its supplier chain, which means large-span openings, high traffic and a real intolerance for unplanned downtime.
What we see in Prospecton
Large spans are their own engineering problem. Above about five metres the curtain wants to deflect under its own weight, and if the barrel is undersized it will bow, bind in the guides and eventually jam at the worst moment.
We calculate the barrel for the span rather than working off a table, and on the widest openings we will recommend splitting into two doors where the building allows, which is usually cheaper to run and much faster to cycle.
Getting on site
Industrial sites have their own induction, permits and traffic rules, and we work to them. We confirm site access, whether hot work is permitted and what the bay can be taken out of service for before we commit to a date, because a loading bay closed unexpectedly costs more than the door. Where the work has to happen outside production hours we schedule it that way and price it that way from the start.
Motors, backup and load shedding
Industrial doors need industrial gear. We spec three-phase where the supply allows and a heavy-duty single-phase where it does not, with a control box rated for the environment rather than a domestic unit in a steel enclosure. Every install gets a manual override that a shift supervisor can operate without a technician, because at two in the morning that is the difference between a delay and a stoppage.
Repairs on any make
We repair any make, and on industrial doors that usually means getting the bay working first and doing the proper repair second. We carry common slat profiles, bearings and bottom rails, so a strike is often a same-day fix rather than a week of waiting for parts. Where a door is genuinely at end of life we will say so, and we will quote a replacement built to the duty cycle the bay actually runs.
What it costs
We quote Prospecton jobs off a free measured survey, itemised so you can see what the door, the motor and the installation each cost, and fixed in writing before anything is manufactured. We do not quote a range over the phone and then adjust it on site, because that is not a price, it is a deposit.
How soon we can be there
Surveys in Prospecton are normally within one working day and quotes follow the same day the survey is done. Manufacture depends on the door, and we give you a real date rather than an optimistic one. Breakdowns are attended same-day wherever we can reach you.
Getting a quote
Send us the opening, or ask for a survey and we will come and measure it. Either way you get an itemised written price for your Prospecton door, valid as quoted, with no charge for the visit.

Common questions
Roller doors in Prospecton
Almost always because the door was specified for a lighter duty than the bay actually runs. A unit rated for domestic or light commercial use will not survive the cycle count of a working Prospecton loading bay, and the motor is the part that shows it first. We ask what the bay does per day and spec the motor and barrel to that number, which costs a little more once and stops the pattern.
Not if it was built properly. On our industrial doors the bottom rail and individual slat sections are replaceable, so a strike is usually a same-day repair rather than a full recurtain. We hold the common profiles, bearings and rails. If someone has told you the whole curtain must go, it is worth a second opinion before you spend it.
Yes, and on most Prospecton sites that is the sensible way to do it. A loading bay out of service during production costs far more than the door, so we schedule around your shift pattern and price it that way from the start. We also work to site induction, permits and traffic rules, and we confirm all of that before committing to a date.
