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

Town: Barking
Postcode district: IG11
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.

Powered door rules that apply in Barking

Barking 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.

Planning the work around your site

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
