Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Kingston upon Thames

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.

Jobs we can carry out

Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
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 Kingston upon Thames 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.

How the work is organised

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Kingston upon Thames?

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 Kingston upon Thames?

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.

Which is better for our Kingston upon Thames site, top-hung or bottom-rolling?

Top-hung keeps the floor flush but needs a strong structure overhead. Bottom-rolling suits lighter buildings but needs a clean, protected floor rail. We recommend one after checking both on survey.
