Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Heston

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.

What this work can involve

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
