What to specify
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- 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.
Powered door rules that apply in Tewkesbury
Tewkesbury is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Gloucestershire 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 Tewkesbury
Can our existing sliding doors in Tewkesbury 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.
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Tewkesbury?
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 Tewkesbury we confirm the fixed price in writing.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Tewkesbury?
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.
