What we fit in Halewood
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
- 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 Halewood?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
How long would a large-span door installation take in Halewood?
After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Halewood?
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 Halewood?
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.
