Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Burton upon Trent

Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Burton upon Trent?

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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Burton upon Trent: your questions

Will a sliding door fit our building in Burton upon Trent?

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.

Which is better for our Burton upon Trent 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 fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Staffordshire?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Staffordshire, 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.
