What we fit in Scunthorpe
- 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.
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Scunthorpe 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Scunthorpe?
A pair of manual sliding doors on a sound structure is usually fitted in a day or two. Large folding doors, electric operation and new steelwork add time, which we set out with your quote.
Can our existing sliding doors in Scunthorpe 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.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Scunthorpe?
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.
