- Free for new installations
What to specify
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- 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.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
What this work can involve
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
- 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.
Powered door rules that apply in Bolton
Bolton 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.
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.

Questions from businesses in Bolton
Will a sliding door fit our building in Bolton?
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 Bolton?
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.
