What we fit in Bootle
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Bootle 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Bootle vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Bootle
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Bootle?
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.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Bootle?
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.
Which is better for our Bootle 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.
