Options for hangar and large-span doors in Aldershot

Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.

Examples of work we can quote for

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

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

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.

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Aldershot?

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.

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 Aldershot, we confirm a fixed price in writing.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Aldershot?

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.
