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

Options that matter on site
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Jobs we can carry out
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Dartford 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Dartford
Do you service large doors across Kent?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Kent, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
Can a large door at our Dartford site be operated without power?
Most powered large doors include a manual or emergency means of operation for power failures. How it works depends on the door type and size, and we explain it at handover and in the user instructions.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Dartford?
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.
