Hangar and large-span doors in Tyne and Wear

In short

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

Area: Tyne and Wear
Nation: England
Main town: Newcastle upon Tyne
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.

Jobs we can carry out

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

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Tyne and Wear 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 Tyne and Wear 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.
