What we fit in Brislington

Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.

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.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Brislington are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Brislington: your questions

Will a sliding door fit our building in Brislington?

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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Brislington 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.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Bristol?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Bristol, 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.
