Options that matter on site
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
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.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Powered door rules that apply in Sale
Sale 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Sale
Which is better for our Sale 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 long does it take to fit sliding doors in Sale?
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.
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Sale?
Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.
