Sliding and folding industrial doors in Horsham

In short

Each sliding or folding door project in Horsham starts with a free survey of the opening, side room, floor and structure, followed by a written fixed price before any work starts.

Town: Horsham
Postcode district: RH12
Area: West Sussex
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Insulated options. Insulated panel infill and edge seals for heated buildings.
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.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.
No headroom needed. Leaves move sideways, so nothing coils above or runs under the roof.

What this work can involve

Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Horsham?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Horsham: your 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 Horsham?

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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Horsham be motorised?

Often, if the leaves and track are in good condition. We assess the doors, fit a drive and the safety devices needed, and take on the conformity responsibilities that come with converting a manual door to power.
