At a glance

Area: County Durham
Nation: England
Main town: Durham
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.

Examples of work we can quote for

Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in County Durham 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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around County Durham vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in County Durham: your questions

Can our existing sliding doors in County Durham 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.

Which is better for our County Durham 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.

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.
