Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Burnham-on-Sea

Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Burnham-on-Sea?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Burnham-on-Sea 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.

Questions from businesses in Burnham-on-Sea

Can our existing sliding doors in Burnham-on-Sea 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.

Which is better for our Burnham-on-Sea 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.
