What to specify

Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Eltham?

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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Eltham: your questions

Will a sliding door fit our building in Eltham?

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.

How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Eltham?

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 Eltham we confirm the fixed price in writing.

Can our existing sliding doors in Eltham 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.
