What we fit in Castleford

Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.

Typical scopes of work

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Castleford?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Castleford 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.

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.
