Sliding and folding industrial doors in Seaham

In short

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

Town: Seaham
Postcode district: SR7
Area: County Durham
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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 frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Seaham?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Questions from businesses in Seaham

Can our existing sliding doors in Seaham 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 Seaham 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.

Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Seaham?

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.
