- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Powered door rules that apply in Felixstowe
Felixstowe is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Suffolk 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.

Questions from businesses in Felixstowe
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Felixstowe?
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.
Can our existing sliding doors in Felixstowe be motorised?
Often, if the leaves and track are in good condition. We assess the doors, fit a drive and the safety devices needed, and take on the conformity responsibilities that come with converting a manual door to power.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Felixstowe?
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.
