Options for hangar and large-span doors in Prescot
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- 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.
Jobs we can carry out
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Prescot 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
Do you service large doors across Merseyside?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Merseyside, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
Can a large door at our Prescot site be operated without power?
Most powered large doors include a manual or emergency means of operation for power failures. How it works depends on the door type and size, and we explain it at handover and in the user instructions.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Prescot?
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.
