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

What to specify
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Powered door rules that apply in Flint
Flint is in Wales, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Clwyd the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Flint: your questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Flint?
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.
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Flint?
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 Flint we confirm the fixed price in writing.
Which is better for our Flint 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.
