What to specify
- 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.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Swindon 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
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.

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors
Can a large door at our Swindon 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.
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Swindon?
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.
Do you service large doors across Wiltshire?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Wiltshire, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
