Sliding and folding industrial doors in Didcot

Quick answer

Each sliding or folding door project in Didcot starts with a free survey of the opening, side room, floor and structure, followed by a written fixed price before any work starts.

Town: Didcot
Postcode district: OX11
Area: Oxfordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Didcot?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
