Quick answer
Not enough headroom for a shutter at your Leatherhead building? Sliding and folding doors open sideways instead of upwards, leaving the roof space clear for cranes, lighting, sprinklers and other services.

Options that matter on site
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- 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.
- Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
- Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Jobs we can carry out
- Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
- 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 Leatherhead
Leatherhead 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 Surrey 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.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Leatherhead: your questions
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Leatherhead?
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.
Which is better for our Leatherhead site, top-hung or bottom-rolling?
Top-hung keeps the floor flush but needs a strong structure overhead. Bottom-rolling suits lighter buildings but needs a clean, protected floor rail. We recommend one after checking both on survey.
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Leatherhead?
Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.
