What we fit in Ashton-under-Lyne

Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Ashton-under-Lyne 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
