Sliding and folding industrial doors in York

The short version

For agricultural and industrial buildings in York, we can replace worn sliding doors, upgrade them with new tracks and leaves, or automate them with the safety devices a powered door needs.

Town: York
Postcode district: YO1
Area: North Yorkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.

What this work can involve

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in York 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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
