The short version
Hangar and large-span doors for aviation, rail, marine and heavy plant buildings in Heanor. We survey the opening and the structure, then design a door for its size and wind exposure before giving a fixed price.

What to specify
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Jobs we can carry out
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
- 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 Heanor
Heanor 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
For busy sites in Derbyshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
