Hangar and large-span doors in Birmingham

The short version

Large openings at sites in Birmingham (B1) need doors engineered for wind, weight and structure. We specify the running gear, drives and safety devices to suit, then install and commission the complete door.

Town: Birmingham
Postcode district: B1
Area: West Midlands
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Birmingham 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

Most installations in Birmingham can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
