Hangar and large-span doors in Chelsea

The short version

From a single wide plant-shed door to a full hangar frontage, we can design and fit large-span doors in Chelsea, coordinating floor rails, steelwork and controls so the whole opening works as one system.

Options that matter on site

Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.

Examples of work we can quote for

Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.

Powered door rules that apply in Chelsea

Chelsea is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

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.

Questions from businesses in Chelsea

Can a large door at our Chelsea site be operated without power?

Most powered large doors include a manual or emergency means of operation for power failures. How it works depends on the door type and size, and we explain it at handover and in the user instructions.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Chelsea?

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.

How much does a hangar door cost in Chelsea?

Hangar and large-span doors are priced on survey because each is designed for its opening and structure. Typical projects start from around £39,995 ex VAT. After surveying your site in Chelsea, we confirm a fixed price in writing.
