Sliding and folding industrial doors in Harwich

In short

Each sliding or folding door project in Harwich starts with a free survey of the opening, side room, floor and structure, followed by a written fixed price before any work starts.

Town: Harwich
Postcode district: CO12
Area: Essex
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.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
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.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Harwich 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.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Harwich: your questions

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

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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Harwich?

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.

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 Harwich we confirm the fixed price in writing.
