Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Yeadon

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.
Wide spans. Very wide openings are handled by adding leaves, so width is rarely a limit.
Electric operation. Motor drives with safety edges, photocells and guarding where needed.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.

What this work can involve

Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Renewing seized trolleys and a distorted overhead track on large sliding doors to a vehicle shed.
Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about sliding and folding industrial doors

Which is better for our Yeadon 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.

Can our existing sliding doors in Yeadon 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.

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

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