In short
Not enough headroom for a shutter at your Leigh building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

What we fit in Leigh
- 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.
- 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.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Leigh 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Leigh?
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.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Leigh?
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.
Which is better for our Leigh site, top-hung or bottom-rolling?
Top-hung keeps the floor flush but needs a strong structure overhead. Bottom-rolling suits lighter buildings but needs a clean, protected floor rail. We recommend one after checking both on survey.
