Hangar and large-span doors in York

Quick answer

If your sliding hangar doors in York have become heavy, noisy or hard to move, we can renew wheels, guides and drives, or replace the doors with a modern large-span system if refurbishment no longer makes sense.

Town: York
Postcode district: YO1
Area: North Yorkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.

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

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

For busy sites in North Yorkshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
