Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Taunton

Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
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.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Taunton 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 Taunton 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.

Questions from businesses in Taunton

Will a sliding door fit our building in Taunton?

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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Taunton 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.
