Hangar and large-span doors in Andover

At a glance

If your sliding hangar doors in Andover 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.

Town: Andover
Postcode district: SP10
Area: Hampshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.

Typical scopes of work

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.

Powered door rules that apply in Andover

Andover is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

Can a large door at our Andover site be operated without power?

Most powered large doors include a manual or emergency means of operation for power failures. How it works depends on the door type and size, and we explain it at handover and in the user instructions.

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

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 Andover?

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.
