In short

Town: Newtown
Postcode district: SY16
Area: Powys
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
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.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.

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

In Wales, 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better for our Newtown 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 Newtown 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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Newtown?

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.
