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

What we fit in Torquay
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Powered door rules that apply in Torquay
Torquay 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.
How the work is organised
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.
