Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Kingswood

Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Kingswood can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Gloucestershire?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Gloucestershire, 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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Kingswood 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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Kingswood?

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.
