What we fit in North Yorkshire

No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.

What this work can involve

Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in North Yorkshire?

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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in North Yorkshire: your questions

Will a sliding door fit our building in North Yorkshire?

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 North Yorkshire 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.

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in North Yorkshire?

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.
