Hangar and large-span doors in Harlow

The short version

If your sliding hangar doors in Harlow have become heavy, noisy or hard to move, we can renew wheels, guides and drives, or replace the doors with a modern large-span system if refurbishment no longer makes sense.

Town: Harlow
Postcode district: CM20
Area: Essex
Survey: Free for new installations

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.
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.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.

Jobs we can carry out

Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.

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

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.
