What we fit in Margate
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Powered door rules that apply in Margate
Margate 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Margate?
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.
Can a large door at our Margate 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.
How long would a large-span door installation take in Margate?
After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.
