Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Shrewsbury
- Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
What this work can involve
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Shrewsbury 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
Most installations in Shrewsbury 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.

Frequently asked questions
Which is better for our Shrewsbury 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.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Shrewsbury?
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.
Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Shropshire?
Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Shropshire, including timber-clad leaves, bottom-rolling gear for lightweight portal frames and wicket doors so staff and livestock handlers can get in without opening the main leaves.
