Options for hangar and large-span doors in Bristol

Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.

Typical scopes of work

Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

Can a large door at our Bristol site be operated without power?

Most powered large doors include a manual or emergency means of operation for power failures. How it works depends on the door type and size, and we explain it at handover and in the user instructions.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Bristol?

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.

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Bristol?

Often, yes. If the leaves are sound, we renew wheels, guides, drives, cladding and safety devices. Where distortion or corrosion is severe, we explain why replacement may be better value.
