In short
Large openings at sites in Romford (RM1) 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. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- 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.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Powered door rules that apply in Romford
Romford 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.
How the work is organised
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.

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 Romford, we confirm a fixed price in writing.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Romford?
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.
