Options for hangar and large-span doors in Melton Mowbray
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Melton Mowbray 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you service large doors across Leicestershire?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Leicestershire, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Melton Mowbray?
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.
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Melton Mowbray?
Yes. We coordinate loads, fixings, floor rails and steelwork with your structural engineer and main contractor so the door and the building are designed together, and we agree a programme before manufacture.
