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.
- 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. 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.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Staffordshire 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
Most installations in Staffordshire can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors
Which is better for our Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire?
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 the West Midlands?
Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across the West Midlands, 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.
