Hangar and large-span doors in Norwich

The short version

Large openings at sites in Norwich (NR2) need doors engineered for wind, weight and structure. We specify the running gear, drives and safety devices to suit, then install and commission the complete door.

Town: Norwich
Postcode district: NR2
Area: Norfolk
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.

What this work can involve

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 Norwich?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Questions from businesses in Norwich

How long would a large-span door installation take in Norwich?

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.

Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Norwich?

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.

Can a large door at our Norwich 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.
