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

Options that matter on site
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Powered door rules that apply in Torquay
Torquay 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 Devon 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 Torquay: your questions
Will a sliding door fit our building in Torquay?
It needs wall space to the side for the leaves to slide past, or room for folded leaves to stack. We measure this on survey and choose between sliding, telescopic and folding layouts to suit what is there.
Which is better for our Torquay 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 Devon?
Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Devon, 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.
