Sliding and folding industrial doors in Stretford

The short version

Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Stretford (M32)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

Town: Stretford
Postcode district: M32
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
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.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site
