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

- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
What this work can involve
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Shropshire 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
Sites in and around Shropshire vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
Which is better for our Shropshire 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.
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Shropshire?
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 Shropshire we confirm the fixed price in writing.
Can our existing sliding doors in Shropshire 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.
