The short version
Planning a new hangar or large shed near Finchley? We work with your structural engineer and contractor on multi-leaf sliding, vertical-lift fabric or large sectional doors designed around the building.

- N3
- Area
- Greater London
- Survey
- Free for new installations
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.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Finchley 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.
How the work is organised
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.
