What we fit in Lowestoft

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
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 Lowestoft 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions

Can our existing sliding doors in Lowestoft 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.

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Lowestoft?

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.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Suffolk?

Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across Suffolk, 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.
