Sliding and folding industrial doors in Crowborough

The short version

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

Town: Crowborough
Postcode district: TN6

Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.

Powered door rules that apply in Crowborough

Crowborough 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

Most installations in Crowborough can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
