Options for hangar and large-span doors in Leicestershire

Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.

What this work can involve

Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Leicestershire 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

Most installations in Leicestershire 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.

Hangar and large-span doors in Leicestershire: your questions

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Leicestershire?

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 you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Leicestershire?

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 the East Midlands?

Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across the East Midlands, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
