In short
Not enough headroom for a shutter at your Cheshire building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

What we fit in Cheshire
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- 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.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Cheshire 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
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.
