Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Wigan

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Wigan 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Greater Manchester?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Greater Manchester, including timber-clad leaves, bottom-rolling gear for lightweight portal frames and wicket doors so staff and livestock handlers can get in without opening the main leaves.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Wigan?

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 Wigan 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.
