- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- 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.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in West Sussex?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Questions from businesses in West Sussex
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in West Sussex?
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 the South East?
Yes. We supply and fit steel sliding doors on agricultural buildings across the South East, 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.
Which is better for our West Sussex 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.
