Quick answer
Hangar and large-span doors for aviation, rail, marine and heavy plant buildings in the Highlands and Islands. We survey the opening and the structure, then design a door for its size and wind exposure before giving a fixed price.

Options that matter on site
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
What this work can involve
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in the Highlands and Islands 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
Sites in and around the Highlands and Islands vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
