The short version
Large openings at sites in Tipton (DY4) 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.

Options that matter on site
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
What this work can involve
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Tipton?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

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 Tipton, we confirm a fixed price in writing.
Can a large door at our Tipton 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.

Yes. We coordinate loads, fixings, floor rails and steelwork with your structural engineer and main contractor so the door and the building are designed together, and we agree a programme before manufacture.
