Sliding and folding industrial doors in Cardiff

In short

Wide opening, low eaves or an older structure in Cardiff (CF10)? A sliding or folding door can be designed around it, with the weight of the leaves carried wherever the building can safely take it.

Town: Cardiff
Postcode district: CF10
Area: South Glamorgan
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
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.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.

Powered door rules that apply in Cardiff

Cardiff is in Wales, 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors

Which is better for our Cardiff 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.

Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Cardiff?

Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.

Can our existing sliding doors in Cardiff 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.
