Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Newbury

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
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.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.

What this work can involve

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Newbury?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Newbury?

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 Newbury 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 Newbury 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.
