Sliding and folding industrial doors in Truro

In short

For agricultural and industrial buildings in Truro, we can replace worn sliding doors, upgrade them with new tracks and leaves, or automate them with the safety devices a powered door needs.

Town: Truro
Postcode district: TR1
Area: Cornwall
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

Powered door rules that apply in Truro

Truro is in England, 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Cornwall 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 Truro: your questions

Which is better for our Truro 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.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Cornwall?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Cornwall, including timber-clad leaves, bottom-rolling gear for lightweight portal frames and wicket doors so staff and livestock handlers can get in without opening the main leaves.

How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Truro?

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 Truro we confirm the fixed price in writing.
