What we fit in Islington

Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
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 Islington 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Islington

Will a sliding door fit our building in Islington?

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 Islington 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.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Greater London?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Greater London, including timber-clad leaves, bottom-rolling gear for lightweight portal frames and wicket doors so staff and livestock handlers can get in without opening the main leaves.
