Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Bournemouth
- 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.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Bournemouth 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
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 Bournemouth: your questions
Which is better for our Bournemouth 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.
Can our existing sliding doors in Bournemouth be motorised?
Often, if the leaves and track are in good condition. We assess the doors, fit a drive and the safety devices needed, and take on the conformity responsibilities that come with converting a manual door to power.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Bournemouth?
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.
