Quick answer
Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Pimlico (SW1V)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

- Greater London
- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Pimlico?
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.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Pimlico: your questions
Can our existing sliding doors in Pimlico 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.
Which is better for our Pimlico 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.
