Options for hangar and large-span doors in Strood
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Strood 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
For busy sites in Kent the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Strood
Can a large door at our Strood 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.

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 you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Strood?
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.
