In short
From a single wide plant-shed door to a full hangar frontage, we can design and fit large-span doors in Portishead, coordinating floor rails, steelwork and controls so the whole opening works as one system.

Options that matter on site
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
What this work can involve
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Portishead?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Hangar and large-span doors in Portishead: your questions
Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Portishead?
Often, yes. If the leaves are sound, we renew wheels, guides, drives, cladding and safety devices. Where distortion or corrosion is severe, we explain why replacement may be better value.
How much does a hangar door cost in Portishead?
Hangar and large-span doors are priced on survey because each is designed for its opening and structure. Typical projects start from around £39,995 ex VAT. After surveying your site in Portishead, we confirm a fixed price in writing.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Portishead?
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.
