Hangar and large-span doors in Chester

In short

If your sliding hangar doors in Chester have become heavy, noisy or hard to move, we can renew wheels, guides and drives, or replace the doors with a modern large-span system if refurbishment no longer makes sense.

Town: Chester
Postcode district: CH1
Area: Cheshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.

What this work can involve

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.

Powered door rules that apply in Chester

Chester 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

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.
