What we fit in Crawley
- Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
- Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
- No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
- Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
- Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Powered door rules that apply in Crawley
Crawley 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Will a sliding door fit our building in Crawley?
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.
Which is better for our Crawley 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.
