Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Melton Mowbray

Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
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.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.

Jobs we can carry out

Powered door rules that apply in Melton Mowbray

Melton Mowbray is in England, 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 Melton Mowbray 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 Melton Mowbray

Can our existing sliding doors in Melton Mowbray 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.

Which is better for our Melton Mowbray 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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Melton Mowbray?

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.
