Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Grays
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Jobs we can carry out
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Powered door rules that apply in Grays
Grays is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Grays can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Grays
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Grays?
Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.
Can our existing sliding doors in Grays 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 Grays 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.
