What to specify
- 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. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
- Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
What this work can involve
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Tamworth?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Tamworth?
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.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Tamworth?
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.
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.
