Quick answer
From a single wide plant-shed door to a full hangar frontage, we can design and fit large-span doors in Hythe, coordinating floor rails, steelwork and controls so the whole opening works as one system.

Options that matter on site
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Jobs we can carry out
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Hythe 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
Most installations in Hythe 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.
