In short

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

Town: Maidstone
Postcode district: ME14
Area: Kent
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.

Jobs we can carry out

Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Maidstone

Maidstone 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Maidstone

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Maidstone?

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.

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Maidstone?

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.

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.
