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

What to specify
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Greenford 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
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Greenford?
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.
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Greenford?
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 Greenford we confirm the fixed price in writing.
Can our existing sliding doors in Greenford 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.
