What we fit in Fishponds
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Fishponds?
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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Fishponds?
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 Fishponds we confirm the fixed price in writing.
Which is better for our Fishponds 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.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Fishponds?
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.
