What to specify
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
What this work can involve
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Canvey Island?
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
Sites in and around Canvey Island 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.

Hangar and large-span doors in Canvey Island: your questions
Do you service large doors across Essex?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Essex, 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 Canvey Island?
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 Canvey Island?
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.
