Hangar and large-span doors in Crowborough

The short version

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

Options that matter on site

Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
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.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Hangar and large-span doors in Crowborough: your questions

Do you service large doors across East Sussex?

Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across East Sussex, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Crowborough?

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.

Can a large door at our Crowborough site be operated without power?

Most powered large doors include a manual or emergency means of operation for power failures. How it works depends on the door type and size, and we explain it at handover and in the user instructions.
