What we fit in Perth and Kinross
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- 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.
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Powered door rules that apply in Perth and Kinross
Perth and Kinross is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Planning the work around your site
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.
