- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
What this work can involve
- Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
- 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 Lichfield 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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 Lichfield: your questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Lichfield?
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.
How much do sliding or folding industrial doors cost in Lichfield?
Our guide price is £5,995 to £24,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on size, number of leaves, infill and whether the doors are manual or electric. After a free survey in Lichfield we confirm the fixed price in writing.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Lichfield?
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.
