Sliding and folding industrial doors in Thurso

The short version

For agricultural and industrial buildings in Thurso, we can replace worn sliding doors, upgrade them with new tracks and leaves, or automate them with the safety devices a powered door needs.

Town: Thurso
Postcode district: KW14
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.

Typical scopes of work

Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Thurso

Thurso is in Scotland, 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

Most installations in Thurso can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Thurso: your questions

Can our existing sliding doors in Thurso 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.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around the Highlands and Islands?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across the Highlands and Islands, 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 Thurso?

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.
