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

What to specify
- 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.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
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.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Thamesmead 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
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 Thamesmead
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Thamesmead?
Yes. We coordinate loads, fixings, floor rails and steelwork with your structural engineer and main contractor so the door and the building are designed together, and we agree a programme before manufacture.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Thamesmead?
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 Thamesmead 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.
