What to specify
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
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.
- 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 St Austell 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in St Austell can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in St Austell?
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 St Austell 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 St Austell?
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 St Austell we confirm the fixed price in writing.
