Sliding and folding industrial doors in Leeds

The short version

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

Town: Leeds
Postcode district: LS1
Area: West Yorkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Robust build. Steel frames carry cladding to suit the building, from profiled steel to timber boarding.

What this work can involve

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Replacing worn timber sliding doors on a storage building with steel-framed bottom-rolling doors and a wicket door.

Powered door rules that apply in Leeds

Leeds 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.

Planning the work around your site

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Leeds: your questions

Can our existing sliding doors in Leeds 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.

How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Leeds?

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 Leeds?

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.
