Sliding and folding industrial doors in Bishop's Stortford

The short version

Each sliding or folding door project in Bishop's Stortford starts with a free survey of the opening, side room, floor and structure, followed by a written fixed price before any work starts.

Town: Bishop's Stortford
Postcode district: CM23
Area: Hertfordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
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 Bishop's Stortford 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

Can our existing sliding doors in Bishop's Stortford be motorised?

Often, if the leaves and track are in good condition. We assess the doors, fit a drive and the safety devices needed, and take on the conformity responsibilities that come with converting a manual door to power.

Which is better for our Bishop's Stortford 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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Bishop's Stortford?

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.
