Sliding and folding industrial doors in Hoddesdon

In short

Not enough headroom for a shutter at your Hoddesdon building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

What we fit in Hoddesdon

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.

What this work can involve

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.

Powered door rules that apply in Hoddesdon

Hoddesdon is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
