What to specify
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Wickford 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
