Quick answer
Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Sutton (SM1)? 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
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
What this work can involve
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Powered door rules that apply in Sutton
Sutton 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Frequently asked questions
Which is better for our Sutton 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.
Can our existing sliding doors in Sutton 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 repair sliding and folding doors in Sutton?
Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.
