Options that matter on site

Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Hemel Hempstead?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors

Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Hemel Hempstead?

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.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Hertfordshire?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Hertfordshire, 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.

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.
