What we fit in Gainsborough

Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
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.
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.

What this work can involve

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
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 Gainsborough?

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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors

Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Gainsborough?

Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.

Which is better for our Gainsborough 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 Gainsborough 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.
