Quick answer
If your sliding hangar doors in Ketton 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.

Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Powered door rules that apply in Ketton
Ketton 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

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 Ketton?
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.
