Sectional overhead doors in Edinburgh

In short

Sectional overhead doors for warehouses, workshops and loading bays in Edinburgh. We survey the opening, specify the panels, tracks and drive to suit how the door is used, then install and commission it with full handover paperwork.

Town: Edinburgh
Postcode district: EH2
Area: Edinburgh and the Lothians
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Track layouts. Standard, low headroom, high lift and vertical lift tracks, chosen after measuring your headroom.
Safety devices. Every powered door is fitted with the safety functions its risk assessment needs and force-tested before handover.
Wicket doors. A pass door built into the panels saves opening the whole door for pedestrians; low-threshold options reduce trips.
Finishes. RAL colours to match cladding, with stucco or woodgrain embossing on the outer skin.
Vision panels. Add a row of vision panels or full-vision aluminium sections for daylight and a clear view of vehicles outside.

Jobs we can carry out

Converting a manual chain-operated sectional door to electric operation with a shaft-mounted motor, safety edge and photocells.
Supplying sectional doors in a RAL colour matched to the existing cladding as part of a unit refurbishment between tenants.
Installing a sectional door on low-headroom tracks in a steel-framed unit where the roof haunch sits close above the opening.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Edinburgh are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions

How soon can a sectional door be fitted in Edinburgh?

Sectional doors are made to measure, so the manufacturer's lead time sets the date. We confirm it with the quote, book installation around your operations and fit most single doors in a day once the opening is ready.

How much is a sectional overhead door in Edinburgh?

Our guide price for an electric, 40 mm insulated sectional door up to about 4 × 4.5 m is £3,495 to £8,495 ex VAT, supplied and fitted. The fixed price for your opening in Edinburgh is confirmed in writing after a free survey.

Can you replace a roller shutter with a sectional door at our Edinburgh unit?

Usually, yes, provided there is enough headroom and side room for the tracks. Low-headroom track kits cover many older units. We check this on the survey and include strip-out and making good in the quote.
