The short version
Planning a new hangar or large shed near Somerset? We work with your structural engineer and contractor on multi-leaf sliding, vertical-lift fabric or large sectional doors designed around the building.
- Area
- Somerset
- Nation
- England
- Main town
- Taunton
- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Typical scopes of work
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Somerset are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
