Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Swadlincote
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Powered door rules that apply in Swadlincote
Swadlincote 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

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