Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in New Milton 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Frequently asked questions
Will a sliding door fit our building in New Milton?
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.
Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Hampshire?
Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Hampshire, 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.
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in New Milton?
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 New Milton we confirm the fixed price in writing.
