Sliding and folding industrial doors in Livingston

The short version

Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Livingston (EH54)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

Town: Livingston
Postcode district: EH54
Area: Edinburgh and the Lothians
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
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

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Livingston 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

For busy sites in Edinburgh and the Lothians the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

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.
