What we fit in Wick

Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.

Typical scopes of work

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
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 Wick

Wick 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Wick?

A pair of manual sliding doors on a sound structure is usually fitted in a day or two. Large folding doors, electric operation and new steelwork add time, which we set out with your quote.

Which is better for our Wick 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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Wick 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.
