In short
Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Strood (ME2)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

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.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
- 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 Strood?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Strood 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.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Strood?
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 Strood we confirm the fixed price in writing.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Strood?
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.
Can our existing sliding doors in Strood 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.
