The short version

We can supply and fit steel sliding and bi-folding doors in Greater Manchester and across the North West, manual or electric, with insulated or single-skin leaves and wicket doors wherever staff need everyday access.

Area: Greater Manchester
Nation: England
Main town: Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.

What this work can involve

Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Greater Manchester?

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

Sites in and around Greater Manchester 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.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Greater Manchester: your questions

Will a sliding door fit our building in Greater Manchester?

It needs wall space to the side for the leaves to slide past, or room for folded leaves to stack. We measure this on survey and choose between sliding, telescopic and folding layouts to suit what is there.

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Greater Manchester?

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.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around the North West?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across the North West, 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.
