The short version
Not enough headroom for a shutter at your South Yorkshire building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in South Yorkshire
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- 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.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Jobs we can carry out
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in South Yorkshire?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
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.
