In short

Sliding and folding industrial doors for farms, workshops, vehicle sheds and wide-span buildings in Berkshire. We survey the opening and the structure, then recommend a top-hung or bottom-rolling layout that suits it.

Area: Berkshire
Nation: England
Main town: Reading
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.

What this work can involve

Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
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 Berkshire?

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.

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.

Questions from businesses in Berkshire

Which is better for our Berkshire 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 Berkshire?

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 Berkshire we confirm the fixed price in writing.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around the South East?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across the South East, 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.
