Options that matter on site
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Bicester 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
For busy sites in Oxfordshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Bicester
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Bicester?
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 Bicester we confirm the fixed price in writing.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Bicester?
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.
Which is better for our Bicester 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.
