Sliding and folding industrial doors in South Croydon

In short

Not enough headroom for a shutter at your South Croydon building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in South Croydon

Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
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.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
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.

What this work can involve

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in South Croydon?

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

Sites in and around South Croydon vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
