At a glance

Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Kilwinning (KA13)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

Town: Kilwinning
Postcode district: KA13
Area: Ayrshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
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.

What this work can involve

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.

Powered door rules that apply in Kilwinning

Kilwinning 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

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.
