Sliding and folding industrial doors in Margate

The short version

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

Town: Margate
Postcode district: CT9
Area: Kent
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
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.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Margate?

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.

How the work is organised

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can our existing sliding doors in Margate 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 Kent?

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

How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Margate?

Our guide price is £5,995 to £24,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on size, number of leaves, infill and whether the doors are manual or electric. After a free survey in Margate we confirm the fixed price in writing.
