The short version
From a single wide plant-shed door to a full hangar frontage, we can design and fit large-span doors in Plymouth, coordinating floor rails, steelwork and controls so the whole opening works as one system.

Options for hangar and large-span doors in Plymouth
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Plymouth?
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.
