What we fit in Chesterfield

Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.

What this work can involve

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.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Chesterfield

Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Chesterfield?

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.

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Chesterfield?

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 Chesterfield?

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.
