In short
If your sliding hangar doors in Ipswich 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.

Options for hangar and large-span doors in Ipswich
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Powered door rules that apply in Ipswich
Ipswich 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
