Area: Suffolk
Nation: England
Main town: Ipswich
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.

What this work can involve

Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Suffolk 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

For busy sites in the East of England the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
