Options that matter on site
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
Jobs we can carry out
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Powered door rules that apply in Brighton
Brighton 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
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Brighton?
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.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Brighton?
It needs wall space to the side for the leaves to slide past, or room for folded leaves to stack. We measure this on survey and choose between sliding, telescopic and folding layouts to suit what is there.
Which is better for our Brighton 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.
