Options that matter on site

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
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 Newton-le-Willows 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

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

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Newton-le-Willows?

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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Newton-le-Willows?

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.

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.
