Options for hangar and large-span doors in Burnham-on-Sea

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. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Burnham-on-Sea?

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

Most installations in Burnham-on-Sea can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
