What we fit in Hexham

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
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.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Hexham 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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Hexham vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Hexham

How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Hexham?

Our guide price is £5,995 to £24,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on size, number of leaves, infill and whether the doors are manual or electric. After a free survey in Hexham we confirm the fixed price in writing.

Which is better for our Hexham 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 Hexham 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.
