Hangar and large-span doors in Taunton

Quick answer

If your sliding hangar doors in Taunton 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.

What we fit in Taunton

Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
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.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.

Examples of work we can quote for

Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.

Powered door rules that apply in Taunton

Taunton is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Somerset the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

Can a large door at our Taunton 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.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Taunton?

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.

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

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.
