What we fit in Forth Valley
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- 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.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Forth Valley?
In Scotland, 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
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
Which is better for our Forth Valley 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.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Forth Valley?
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.
Can our existing sliding doors in Forth Valley 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.
