The short version
Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Croydon (CR0)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

What we fit in Croydon
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Croydon are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Croydon vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
Can our existing sliding doors in Croydon 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.
Which is better for our Croydon 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.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Croydon?
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.
