Hangar and large-span doors in Walsall

At a glance

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

Town: Walsall
Postcode district: WS1
Area: West Midlands
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.

What this work can involve

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.

Powered door rules that apply in Walsall

Walsall is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Keeping your site running during the work

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Hangar and large-span doors in Walsall: your questions

How long would a large-span door installation take in Walsall?

After design and manufacture, installation typically takes from several days to a few weeks depending on the number of leaves and any structural work. The full programme is set out with the quote.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Walsall?

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 Walsall 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.
