Options for hangar and large-span doors in South Ockendon

Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
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.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in South Ockendon?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
