What we fit in Peterlee

Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Peterlee

Peterlee 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.

How the work is organised

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

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.
