Options for hangar and large-span doors in Darwen
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.

- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Darwen 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
