Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Christchurch
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- 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.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Christchurch 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.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Dorset 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 Christchurch: your questions
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Christchurch?
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 Christchurch we confirm the fixed price in writing.
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Christchurch?
Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.
Which is better for our Christchurch 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.
