Hangar and large-span doors in Gwent

At a glance

If your sliding hangar doors in Gwent have become heavy, noisy or hard to move, we can renew wheels, guides and drives, or replace the doors with a modern large-span system if refurbishment no longer makes sense.

Area: Gwent
Nation: Wales
Main town: Newport (Gwent)
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.

Examples of work we can quote for

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

In Wales, 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.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
