Quick answer
Not enough headroom for a shutter at your Carmarthen building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

Options that matter on site
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
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 worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Carmarthen?
In Wales, 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Carmarthen
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Carmarthen?
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 Carmarthen 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.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Carmarthen?
A pair of manual sliding doors on a sound structure is usually fitted in a day or two. Large folding doors, electric operation and new steelwork add time, which we set out with your quote.
