What we fit in Chichester

Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
Wide spans. Openings of almost any width split into as many leaves as needed.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
Supplying insulated sliding leaves with edge seals for a converted building now used as a heated workshop.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

Powered door rules that apply in Chichester

Chichester 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Chichester: your questions

Which is better for our Chichester 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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in Chichester?

It needs wall space to the side for the leaves to slide past, or room for folded leaves to stack. We measure this on survey and choose between sliding, telescopic and folding layouts to suit what is there.

Do you fit sliding doors on farm buildings around West Sussex?

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