Hangar and large-span doors in Staines-upon-Thames

The short version

Planning a new hangar or large shed near Staines-upon-Thames? We work with your structural engineer and contractor on multi-leaf sliding, vertical-lift fabric or large sectional doors designed around the building.

Town: Staines-upon-Thames
Postcode district: TW18
Area: Surrey
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.

What this work can involve

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Staines-upon-Thames?

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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Surrey, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.

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.
