Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Cheltenham

Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Cheltenham 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.

Questions from businesses in Cheltenham

Which is better for our Cheltenham 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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Cheltenham?

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.

How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Cheltenham?

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 Cheltenham we confirm the fixed price in writing.
