In short
If your sliding hangar doors in Bow 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.

Options for hangar and large-span doors in Bow
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Typical scopes of work
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Bow?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Hangar and large-span doors in Bow: your questions
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Bow?
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.
Do you service large doors across Greater London?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Greater London, 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 Bow?
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.
