Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Shirley

No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Shirley 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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
