What to specify

Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Swanley 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Swanley?

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.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Swanley?

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 a large door at our Swanley 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.
