Options for hangar and large-span doors in Cheshire
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Cheshire 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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Cheshire?
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.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Cheshire?
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 service large doors across the North West?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across the North West, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
