Town: Walton-on-Thames

What to specify

Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.

Examples of work we can quote for

Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Walton-on-Thames 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Walton-on-Thames?

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.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Walton-on-Thames?

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.

Can a large door at our Walton-on-Thames 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.
