Hangar and large-span doors in Shrewsbury

Quick answer

If your sliding hangar doors in Shrewsbury 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: Shrewsbury
Postcode district: SY1
Area: Shropshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.

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.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.

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

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

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.

Hangar and large-span doors in Shrewsbury: your questions

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Shrewsbury?

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.

Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Shropshire, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.

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

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.
