What we fit in Penarth

No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
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.

What this work can involve

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Penarth 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.

Planning the work around your site

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors

Which is better for our Penarth 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.

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Penarth?

A pair of manual sliding doors on a sound structure is usually fitted in a day or two. Large folding doors, electric operation and new steelwork add time, which we set out with your quote.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around South Glamorgan?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across South Glamorgan, including timber-clad leaves, bottom-rolling gear for lightweight portal frames and wicket doors so staff and livestock handlers can get in without opening the main leaves.
