What we fit in Luton
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
What this work can involve
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Luton?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Bedfordshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Luton?
Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.

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.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Luton?
It needs wall space to the side for the leaves to slide past, or room for folded leaves to stack. We measure this on survey and choose between sliding, telescopic and folding layouts to suit what is there.
