In short
Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in London (WC2N)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

Options that matter on site
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Powered door rules that apply in London
London 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in London: your questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in London?
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 London?
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 London we confirm the fixed price in writing.
Can our existing sliding doors in London 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.
