Sliding and folding industrial doors in Enfield

In short

Not enough headroom for a shutter at your Enfield building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

Town: Enfield
Postcode district: EN2
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.

Examples of work we can quote for

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 Enfield

Enfield 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Enfield 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.

Questions from businesses in Enfield

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Enfield?

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 Enfield?

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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Enfield 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.
