What we fit in Leigh

Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
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.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Hangar and large-span doors in Leigh: your questions

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Leigh?

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 you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Leigh?

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.

How much does a hangar door cost in Leigh?

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 Leigh, we confirm a fixed price in writing.
