Options for hangar and large-span doors in Oxfordshire
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Powered door rules that apply in Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Hangar and large-span doors in Oxfordshire: your questions
Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Oxfordshire?
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.
How long would a large-span door installation take in Oxfordshire?
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 a large door at our Oxfordshire 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.
