What we fit in Falmouth
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Falmouth?
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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Questions from businesses in Falmouth
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Falmouth?
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 Falmouth 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.
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Falmouth?
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 Falmouth we confirm the fixed price in writing.
