Hangar and large-span doors in Wigston

The short version

Hangar and large-span doors for aviation, rail, marine and heavy plant buildings in Wigston. We survey the opening and the structure, then design a door for its size and wind exposure before giving a fixed price.

Town: Wigston
Postcode district: LE18
Area: Leicestershire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.

Examples of work we can quote for

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Wigston vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

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.
