Sliding and folding industrial doors for farms, workshops, vehicle sheds and wide-span buildings in Prestwich. We survey the opening and the structure, then recommend a top-hung or bottom-rolling layout that suits it.

What we fit in Prestwich

Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Prestwich?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Access, phasing and timing

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors

Will a sliding door fit our building in Prestwich?

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 Prestwich 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.

How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Prestwich?

Our guide price is £5,995 to £24,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on size, number of leaves, infill and whether the doors are manual or electric. After a free survey in Prestwich we confirm the fixed price in writing.
