What we fit in Irvine
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Powered door rules that apply in Irvine
Irvine 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

Frequently asked questions
Can our existing sliding doors in Irvine 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.
Which is better for our Irvine site, top-hung or bottom-rolling?
Top-hung keeps the floor flush but needs a strong structure overhead. Bottom-rolling suits lighter buildings but needs a clean, protected floor rail. We recommend one after checking both on survey.
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Irvine?
Our guide price is £5,995 to £24,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on size, number of leaves, infill and whether the doors are manual or electric. After a free survey in Irvine we confirm the fixed price in writing.
