In 2019, ourselves, along with Robust UK Ltd (The number one leading supplier of steel doors across the UK), BGS (One of the UK’s largest service and maintenance providers of automatic, pedestrian, and industrial doors) and The Garage Door Company became a part of the Novoferm Group – Europe’s largest system supplier of products including garage doors, steel doors, and operators.

Our alignment within the group, affords our customers access to an extensive, ever-increasing range of pedestrian and industrial doors. From our range of automatic pedestrian doors and specialist healthcare systems, to Robust’s Steel & GLAS-DOR product ranges, BGS’s 24 hour, 365 days a year service offering and Novoferm’s range of garage doors. Our ability to fulfil the door requirements on your projects is endless.

We aim to deliver on our customer’s requests no matter how challenging, and so, if there is something you require which you cannot locate on our website, please contact us, as it may be that we can arrange this for you through another member of our group!

Our recent re-investment in our in-house polyester powder-coating plant, allows full customisation of your door packages. Painting to any standard RAL colour is included within all operator and door package quotations. The ability to paint in-house affords us greater flexibility and lead-times.

*Colour anodizing and specialist RAL colours are available at an additional cost

Project Management

Each project is assigned to one of our project managers, who will oversee your project from start to finish. They will ensure your door application suits your requirements, and your project is as hassle-free as possible. We will provide you with a direct contact, you can reach out to with any queries, or for guidance on the latest safety standards. In addition to this, all our project managers are ADSA BS EN:16005 accredited, so you can rest assured that they will ensure your new doors are compliant with the latest safety standards.

Prior to installation, we will attend site to undertake a site-specific risk assessment. This will help us identify potential hazards, and the safety equipment required to reduce/eliminate these risks, ensuring compliance.

Equally, our sales team are ADSA BSEN:16005 accredited, available to assist from quoting stage, through to order and installation. Our Sales team are more than happy to attend meetings and design workshops prior to order, to offer you, our customer as much support and technical assistance as possible.
