Hangar and large-span doors in Pontypool

In short

Planning a new hangar or large shed near Pontypool? We work with your structural engineer and contractor on multi-leaf sliding, vertical-lift fabric or large sectional doors designed around the building.

Town: Pontypool
Postcode district: NP4
Area: Gwent
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.

Typical scopes of work

Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Pontypool 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.

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.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Pontypool?

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

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.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Pontypool?

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.
