Quick answer
Not enough headroom for a shutter at your Yeovil building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

What to specify
- 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.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Powered door rules that apply in Yeovil
Yeovil 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Frequently asked questions
Will a sliding door fit our building in Yeovil?
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 Yeovil 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.
