What we fit in Radcliffe

Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
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.

What this work can involve

Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
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.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Radcliffe 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.

Questions from businesses in Radcliffe

How long would a large-span door installation take in Radcliffe?

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.

Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Radcliffe?

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 Radcliffe?

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.
