What we fit in Kendal

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.

Typical scopes of work

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.

Powered door rules that apply in Kendal

Kendal 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Cumbria?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Cumbria, 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 Kendal?

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 Kendal we confirm the fixed price in writing.

Which is better for our Kendal 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.
