Hangar and large-span doors in Kent

In short

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

Area: Kent
Nation: England
Main town: Maidstone
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.

Examples of work we can quote for

Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.

Powered door rules that apply in Kent

Kent is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in the South East 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.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Kent?

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 Kent?

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.

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Kent?

Often, yes. If the leaves are sound, we renew wheels, guides, drives, cladding and safety devices. Where distortion or corrosion is severe, we explain why replacement may be better value.
