The short version
Large openings at sites in Hailsham (BN27) need doors engineered for wind, weight and structure. We specify the running gear, drives and safety devices to suit, then install and commission the complete door.

Options that matter on site
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- 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.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Typical scopes of work
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Hailsham 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
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
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 Hailsham?
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.
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Hailsham?
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.
