Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Nailsea

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

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.

Powered door rules that apply in Nailsea

Nailsea is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Questions from businesses in Nailsea

Which is better for our Nailsea 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 Nailsea 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.

How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Nailsea?

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 Nailsea we confirm the fixed price in writing.
