What we fit in Heswall
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Heswall?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
Which is better for our Heswall 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.
Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Merseyside?
Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Merseyside, including timber-clad leaves, bottom-rolling gear for lightweight portal frames and wicket doors so staff and livestock handlers can get in without opening the main leaves.
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Heswall?
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.
