What we fit in Ashington
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Ashington 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
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.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
Will a sliding door fit our building in Ashington?
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 repair sliding and folding doors in Ashington?
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.
Which is better for our Ashington 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.
