Hangar and large-span doors in Ashford (Kent)

Options that matter on site

Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.

Powered door rules that apply in Ashford (Kent)

Ashford (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.
