The short version

For agricultural and industrial buildings in Motherwell, 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: Motherwell
Postcode district: ML1
Area: Lanarkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.

What this work can involve

Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.

Powered door rules that apply in Motherwell

Motherwell 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.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Motherwell 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.

Questions from businesses in Motherwell

Will a sliding door fit our building in Motherwell?

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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Motherwell 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 Lanarkshire?

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