Sliding and folding industrial doors in Whitley Bay

Quick answer

Sliding and folding industrial doors for farms, workshops, vehicle sheds and wide-span buildings in Whitley Bay. We survey the opening and the structure, then recommend a top-hung or bottom-rolling layout that suits it.

Town: Whitley Bay
Postcode district: NE26
Area: Tyne and Wear
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
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. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.

Examples of work we can quote for

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
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 Whitley Bay 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.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Our guide price is £5,995 to £24,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on size, number of leaves, infill and whether the doors are manual or electric. After a free survey in Whitley Bay we confirm the fixed price in writing.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around Tyne and Wear?

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

Can our existing sliding doors in Whitley Bay 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.
