Options for hangar and large-span doors in Portsmouth

Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.

Typical scopes of work

Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
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 Portsmouth 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

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.

Hangar and large-span doors in Portsmouth: your questions

Do you service large doors across Hampshire?

Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Hampshire, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Portsmouth?

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.

Can a large door at our Portsmouth 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.
