Hangar and large-span doors in Nelson

In short

If your sliding hangar doors in Nelson have become heavy, noisy or hard to move, we can renew wheels, guides and drives, or replace the doors with a modern large-span system if refurbishment no longer makes sense.

Options that matter on site

Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
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. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.

Jobs we can carry out

Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on 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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Nelson?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Nelson can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
