What we fit in Ashton-in-Makerfield

No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Ashton-in-Makerfield are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Questions from businesses in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Can our existing sliding doors in Ashton-in-Makerfield 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 long does it take to fit sliding doors in Ashton-in-Makerfield?

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 Greater Manchester?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Greater Manchester, 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.
