What we fit in the West Midlands

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.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.

Examples of work we can quote for

Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in the West Midlands?

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.

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.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

Which hangar door type would suit our building in the West Midlands?

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 the West Midlands 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.

How much does a hangar door cost in the West Midlands?

Hangar and large-span doors are priced on survey because each is designed for its opening and structure. Typical projects start from around £39,995 ex VAT. After surveying your site in the West Midlands, we confirm a fixed price in writing.
