In short
For agricultural and industrial buildings in Battersea, we can replace worn sliding doors, upgrade them with new tracks and leaves, or automate them with the safety devices a powered door needs.
- Town
- Battersea
- Postcode district
- SW11
- Area
- Greater London
- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- 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.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Battersea?
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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Greater London 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.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
Will a sliding door fit our building in Battersea?
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.
Which is better for our Battersea 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.
Can our existing sliding doors in Battersea 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.
