Sliding and folding industrial doors in Ormskirk

The short version

We can supply and fit steel sliding and bi-folding doors in Ormskirk and across Lancashire, manual or electric, with insulated or single-skin leaves and wicket doors wherever staff need everyday access.

Town: Ormskirk
Postcode district: L39
Area: Lancashire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
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.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.

What this work can involve

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
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 Ormskirk?

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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Ormskirk: your questions

Which is better for our Ormskirk 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 Ormskirk 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.

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

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 Ormskirk we confirm the fixed price in writing.
