Options that matter on site

Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.

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

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

Most installations in Carshalton can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Carshalton

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Carshalton?

Often, yes. If the leaves are sound, we renew wheels, guides, drives, cladding and safety devices. Where distortion or corrosion is severe, we explain why replacement may be better value.

How long would a large-span door installation take in Carshalton?

After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Carshalton?

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.
