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

Town: East Grinstead
Postcode district: RH19
Area: West Sussex
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
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.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.

What this work can involve

Automating a pair of heavy bi-parting sliding doors with a drive motor, safety edges and photocells.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.

Powered door rules that apply in East Grinstead

East Grinstead 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.

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in East Grinstead?

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.

Will a sliding door fit our building in East Grinstead?

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.
