The short version
Sliding and folding industrial doors for farms, workshops, vehicle sheds and wide-span buildings in Macclesfield. We survey the opening and the structure, then recommend a top-hung or bottom-rolling layout that suits it.

What to specify
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- 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 Macclesfield?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Macclesfield 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 Macclesfield: your questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Macclesfield?
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.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Macclesfield?
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.
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Macclesfield?
Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.
