Sliding and folding industrial doors in Ketton

The short version

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

Town: Ketton
Postcode district: PE9
Area: Rutland
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
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 Ketton?

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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Ketton can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors

Which is better for our Ketton 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.

Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Ketton?

Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Ketton?

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.
