Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Eastbourne

Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
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.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

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

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

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.
