Sliding and folding industrial doors in Surbiton

The short version

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

Town: Surbiton
Postcode district: KT6
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What we fit in Surbiton

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.

What this work can involve

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Surbiton?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Surbiton: your questions

Which is better for our Surbiton 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.

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

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 Surbiton we confirm the fixed price in writing.

Can our existing sliding doors in Surbiton 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.
