Hangar and large-span doors in Brixton

Quick answer

If your sliding hangar doors in Brixton 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: Brixton
Postcode district: SW2
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.

Examples of work we can quote for

Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Brixton 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
