Hangar and large-span doors in Bradford

Quick answer

If your sliding hangar doors in Bradford have become heavy, noisy or hard to move, we can renew wheels, guides and drives, or replace the doors with a modern large-span system if refurbishment no longer makes sense.

Town: Bradford
Postcode district: BD1
Area: West Yorkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.

Typical scopes of work

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.
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 Bradford?

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

Sites in and around Bradford 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.
