Sliding and folding industrial doors in Brentwood

Quick answer

Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Brentwood (CM14)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

What we fit in Brentwood

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.
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.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.

Jobs we can carry out

Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Brentwood

How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Brentwood?

Our guide price is £5,995 to £24,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on size, number of leaves, infill and whether the doors are manual or electric. After a free survey in Brentwood we confirm the fixed price in writing.

Can our existing sliding doors in Brentwood 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.

Which is better for our Brentwood 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.
