Options that matter on site
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Typical scopes of work
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- 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 Hartlepool 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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
Can our existing sliding doors in Hartlepool 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.
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Hartlepool?
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 Hartlepool 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.
