What we fit in Ayr
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Powered door rules that apply in Ayr
Ayr is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Ayr?
A pair of manual sliding doors on a sound structure is usually fitted in a day or two. Large folding doors, electric operation and new steelwork add time, which we set out with your quote.
Can our existing sliding doors in Ayr be motorised?
Often, if the leaves and track are in good condition. We assess the doors, fit a drive and the safety devices needed, and take on the conformity responsibilities that come with converting a manual door to power.
Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Ayrshire?
Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Ayrshire, including timber-clad leaves, bottom-rolling gear for lightweight portal frames and wicket doors so staff and livestock handlers can get in without opening the main leaves.
