In short
For agricultural and industrial buildings in Thamesmead, we can replace worn sliding doors, upgrade them with new tracks and leaves, or automate them with the safety devices a powered door needs.

- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Jobs we can carry out
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Thamesmead?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
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 Thamesmead: your questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Thamesmead?
A pair of manual sliding doors on a sound structure is usually fitted in a day or two. Large folding doors, electric operation and new steelwork add time, which we set out with your quote.
Can our existing sliding doors in Thamesmead 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.
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Thamesmead?
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 Thamesmead we confirm the fixed price in writing.
