What to specify
- 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. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Harlow 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can our existing sliding doors in Harlow 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.
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Harlow?
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.
Which is better for our Harlow 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.
