What we fit in Scarborough

Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Scarborough 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Questions from businesses in Scarborough

Which is better for our Scarborough 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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Scarborough 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.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around North Yorkshire?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across North Yorkshire, 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.
