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

What we fit in Kidsgrove
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Kidsgrove 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.
How the work is organised
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.
