Options that matter on site
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Trowbridge 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
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Questions from businesses in Trowbridge
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Trowbridge?
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.
Can a large door at our Trowbridge 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.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Trowbridge?
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.
