Sliding and folding industrial doors in Basildon

Quick answer

For agricultural and industrial buildings in Basildon, we can replace worn sliding doors, upgrade them with new tracks and leaves, or automate them with the safety devices a powered door needs.

Town: Basildon
Postcode district: SS14
Area: Essex
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
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.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.

What this work can involve

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Basildon 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can our existing sliding doors in Basildon 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 Basildon?

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.

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Basildon?

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.
