At a glance
Large openings at sites in Blackpool (FY1) need doors engineered for wind, weight and structure. We specify the running gear, drives and safety devices to suit, then install and commission the complete door.

Options that matter on site
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
- 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.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Blackpool 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 Lancashire 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.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Blackpool?
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 Lancashire?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Lancashire, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
Can a large door at our Blackpool 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.
