The short version

We can supply and fit steel sliding and bi-folding doors in Weymouth and across Dorset, manual or electric, with insulated or single-skin leaves and wicket doors wherever staff need everyday access.

Town: Weymouth
Postcode district: DT4
Area: Dorset
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.

Powered door rules that apply in Weymouth

Weymouth 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

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 Weymouth: your questions

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Dorset?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Dorset, 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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Weymouth 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 Weymouth?

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.
