In short
Sliding and folding industrial doors for farms, workshops, vehicle sheds and wide-span buildings in Govan. We survey the opening and the structure, then recommend a top-hung or bottom-rolling layout that suits it.

Options that matter on site
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in Govan 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
For busy sites in Glasgow the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Govan
Which is better for our Govan 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 Govan?
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.
Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Glasgow?
Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Glasgow, 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.
