Quick answer
Large openings at sites in Pimlico (SW1V) need doors engineered for wind, weight and structure. We specify the running gear, drives and safety devices to suit, then install and commission the complete door.

What to specify
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- 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.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Jobs we can carry out
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Pimlico 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Pimlico 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.

Frequently asked questions
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Pimlico?
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.
Can a large door at our Pimlico 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.
Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Pimlico?
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.
