What we fit in Heywood

Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Heywood?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

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.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Heywood?

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.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Heywood?

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 long would a large-span door installation take in Heywood?

After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.
