What we fit in Dunstable
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Powered door rules that apply in Dunstable
Dunstable 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.
How the work is organised

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Dunstable?
It depends on headroom, side space, structure and how often the door moves. Sliding doors need side space, vertical-lift fabric doors need headroom, and large sectional doors suit big but not extreme openings. We recommend after survey.
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Dunstable?
Yes. We coordinate loads, fixings, floor rails and steelwork with your structural engineer and main contractor so the door and the building are designed together, and we agree a programme before manufacture.
How much does a hangar door cost in Dunstable?
Hangar and large-span doors are priced on survey because each is designed for its opening and structure. Typical projects start from around £39,995 ex VAT. After surveying your site in Dunstable, we confirm a fixed price in writing.
