Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in March

No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
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.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in March 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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around March vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in March: your questions

Will a sliding door fit our building in March?

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.

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

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.

Which is better for our March 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.
