Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Richmond

Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
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.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket 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.

Powered door rules that apply in Richmond

Richmond 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Richmond

How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Richmond?

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 Richmond we confirm the fixed price in writing.

Can our existing sliding doors in Richmond 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.
