In short
Planning a new hangar or large shed near Bishop Auckland? We work with your structural engineer and contractor on multi-leaf sliding, vertical-lift fabric or large sectional doors designed around the building.
- Town
- Bishop Auckland
- Postcode district
- DL14
- Area
- County Durham
- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Bishop Auckland are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Bishop Auckland vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Bishop Auckland?
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.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Bishop Auckland?
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.
How long would a large-span door installation take in Bishop Auckland?
After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.
