Options for sliding and folding industrial doors in Salisbury
- Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
- No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
- Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
- Wicket doors. Pass doors built into a leaf so staff need not open the whole door.
- Folding leaves. Bi-folding leaves stack neatly where side wall space is limited.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Fitting bi-folding doors to a maintenance workshop where overhead gantry cranes rule out a roller shutter or sectional door.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Salisbury are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Wiltshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Sliding and folding industrial doors in Salisbury: your questions
Which is better for our Salisbury 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.
Do you repair sliding and folding doors in Salisbury?
Yes. We replace trolleys, wheels, tracks, guides and damaged cladding on most makes of sliding and folding door. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before carrying out larger repairs or recommending replacement.
How long does it take to fit sliding doors in Salisbury?
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.
