What to specify
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Thetford 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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 Thetford
How long would a large-span door installation take in Thetford?
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.
Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Thetford?
Often, yes. If the leaves are sound, we renew wheels, guides, drives, cladding and safety devices. Where distortion or corrosion is severe, we explain why replacement may be better value.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Thetford?
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.
