Sliding and folding industrial doors in Loughborough

Quick answer

For agricultural and industrial buildings in Loughborough, 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: Loughborough
Postcode district: LE11
Area: Leicestershire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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.
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.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Loughborough are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
