What we fit in Nairn

Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.

What this work can involve

Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Nairn 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in the Highlands and Islands the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a hangar door cost in Nairn?

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 Nairn, we confirm a fixed price in writing.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Nairn?

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.

Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Nairn?

Yes. We coordinate loads, fixings, floor rails and steelwork with your structural engineer and main contractor so the door and the building are designed together, and we agree a programme before manufacture.
