Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Bo'ness

No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
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.
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.

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.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Bo'ness 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Forth Valley?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Forth Valley, including timber-clad leaves, bottom-rolling gear for lightweight portal frames and wicket doors so staff and livestock handlers can get in without opening the main leaves.

Which is better for our Bo'ness 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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Bo'ness 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.
