The short version
If your sliding hangar doors in Cardiff 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 to specify
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
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.
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Safety law for industrial doors in Wales
Industrial doors in Cardiff 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Cardiff vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
