What we fit in Denton

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.

Typical scopes of work

Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

Powered door rules that apply in Denton

Denton 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can our existing sliding doors in Denton 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.

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.

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Denton?

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.
