Quick answer

For agricultural and industrial buildings in Rochdale, we can replace worn sliding doors, upgrade them with new tracks and leaves, or automate them with the safety devices a powered door needs.

Town: Rochdale
Postcode district: OL16
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.

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.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Rochdale can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
