Hangar and large-span doors in Sandown

In short

Large openings at sites in Sandown (PO36) need doors engineered for wind, weight and structure. We specify the running gear, drives and safety devices to suit, then install and commission the complete door.

Town: Sandown
Postcode district: PO36
Area: Isle of Wight
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.

Examples of work we can quote for

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Sandown 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Sandown 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.
