What we fit in Edinburgh and the Lothians

Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
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.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.

What this work can involve

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.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Edinburgh and the Lothians are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Edinburgh and the Lothians vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Edinburgh and the Lothians

Which is better for our Edinburgh and the Lothians 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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Edinburgh and the Lothians 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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Edinburgh and the Lothians?

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.
