Hangar and large-span doors in Worcestershire

The short version

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

Area: Worcestershire
Nation: England
Main town: Worcester
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
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

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.
Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.

Powered door rules that apply in Worcestershire

Worcestershire 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.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in the West Midlands the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Worcestershire

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

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.

Can a large door at our Worcestershire 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 Worcestershire?

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.
