What to specify
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Brixton?
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
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.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Greater London?
Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Greater London, 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.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Brixton?
A pair of manual sliding doors on a sound structure is usually fitted in a day or two. Large folding doors, electric operation and new steelwork add time, which we set out with your quote.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Brixton?
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.
