Options for hangar and large-span doors in Sittingbourne

Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.

Jobs we can carry out

Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.

Powered door rules that apply in Sittingbourne

Sittingbourne 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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Questions from businesses in Sittingbourne

How long would a large-span door installation take in Sittingbourne?

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.

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Sittingbourne?

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 work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Sittingbourne?

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.
