Survey: Free for new installations

What we fit in Manchester

Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.

What this work can involve

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Manchester 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.
