Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Newton Aycliffe

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.

What this work can involve

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.

Powered door rules that apply in Newton Aycliffe

Newton Aycliffe 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in County Durham 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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around County Durham?

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

How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Newton Aycliffe?

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 Newton Aycliffe we confirm the fixed price in writing.

Which is better for our Newton Aycliffe 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.
