Hangar and large-span doors in Thornton-Cleveleys

What this work can involve

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Thornton-Cleveleys 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

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.
