Hangar and large-span doors in Oswestry

In short

Hangar and large-span doors for aviation, rail, marine and heavy plant buildings in Oswestry. We survey the opening and the structure, then design a door for its size and wind exposure before giving a fixed price.

Town: Oswestry
Postcode district: SY11
Area: Shropshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions

Can a large door at our Oswestry 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.

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

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.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Oswestry?

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.
