At Aircraft Hangar, we specialise in the design, supply, and construction of high-performance aviation hangars for private, commercial, and industrial uses across various airports and locations.

Whether you need a single-aircraft shelter or a fully integrated maintenance and operations bay near a runway or terminal, we manage everything from permitting and engineering to material delivery and installation.

Our team delivers hangar solutions that meet strict aviation standards while staying fully compliant with zoning and airfield regulations across the UK, ensuring durability against tough weather conditions and environmental elements.

What Services Are Included In Aircraft Hangar Construction?

We provide a full suite of services for aircraft hangar construction, covering every phase of the project, including:

• Site analysis – Assessment of ground conditions, access, utilities, and zoning compliance for hangarage and apron areas.
• Custom design – Tailored layouts based on aircraft type, operational needs, and future expansion.
• Material supply – Delivery of structural steel, cladding, doors, insulation, and interior components.
• Permitting support – Assistance with planning approvals and aviation authority requirements.
• Concrete and foundation work – Ground preparation, slab pours, and structural anchoring.
• Steel erection and roofing – Frame assembly, wall installation, and weather-sealed roofing systems.
• System integration – Installation of lighting, power, HVAC, drainage, fire protection, and security systems.
• Final inspection and certification – Compliance checks to meet aviation safety and building regulations.

How Much Does It Cost To Build Or Install An Aircraft Hangar?

The cost of building or installing an aircraft hangar ranges from £60,000 to over £1 million, depending on the hangar size, intended use, and the specification level.

Costs are primarily influenced by the structure type (helicopter hangars, T-hangar, box hangar, or MRO facility), materials used (steel frames or insulated panels), door systems (bi-fold, hydraulic, or sliding), and supporting infrastructure such as HVAC, fire suppression, and drainage.

Do You Need Permits Or Approvals For Aircraft Hangar Construction?

Aircraft hangar construction typically requires both local building permits and aviation authority clearance, which may involve zoning applications, structural certifications, and compliance with wind and weather conditions.

Our team handles the full permitting process, from plan submission and documentation to ongoing liaison with local planning bodies and airport management, ensuring the build is fully approved before construction begins.

Can Aircraft Hangars Be Customised For Private Or Commercial Use?

All helicopter hangars and fixed-wing hangars can be customised for commercial and private features like internal office build-outs, climate control systems, mechanic bays, equipment storage, and advanced lighting.

We can also integrate security features like CCTV, keypad access, and fire alarms. Whether you’re housing aircrafts or helicopters, we provide custom solutions that improve functionality and meet aviation logistics and safety requirements.

What Materials Are Supplied For Aircraft Hangar Projects?

We supply a full range of high-performance products for aircraft hangar projects, ensuring structural integrity, durability, and regulatory compliance, including:

• Structural steel frames – Engineered for strength, span width, and length capacity.
• Insulated wall and roof panels – Thermally efficient systems for energy control and weather conditions protection.
• Hangar door systems – Bi-fold, hydraulic, or sliding doors suited to aircrafts type and clearance needs.
• Aluminium or polycarbonate windows – Durable, lightweight glazing options for natural light and visibility.
• Concrete – High-strength mixes for slabs, footings, and foundation work.
• Fire suppression systems – Sprinklers, foam systems, or water mist systems per aviation safety standards.
• Exterior cladding and facades – Optional finishes including metal sheets, composite panels, or architectural accents.
• Code-compliant hardware – All materials meet UK aviation, fire, and structural regulations.

How Long Does Aircraft Hangar Construction Take?

Aircraft hangar projects generally take between 3 and 12 months to complete, depending on length, complexity, and permitting.

Smaller T-hangars or modular units may be installed in under three months, while larger steel buildings with integrated systems take longer due to foundation work and equipment installation. Delays may occur due to supply chain timelines, weather conditions, or planning approvals, but we provide clear project schedules and work to minimise disruptions across all locations.

What Types Of Aircraft Hangars Are Available?

We offer a comprehensive range of helicopter hangars and aircraft hangar types, designed to suit different aircrafts sizes, operational goals, and site constraints, including:

• Private hangars – Compact structures for single aircraft storage, ideal for personal or recreational use.
• Box hangars – Enclosed hangars suited for business jets or general aviation aircrafts.
• Modular and relocatable units – Flexible, transportable hangars for temporary or evolving site needs.
• Commercial fleet hangars – Large-scale facilities designed to accommodate multiple aircrafts simultaneously.
• Maintenance (MRO) hangars – Open-span interiors with service bays and technical support areas for aircraft repair and inspection.
• High-clearance hangars – Hangars with wide-span doors and tall entry heights for helicopters or larger fixed-wing aircrafts.
• Mixed-use hangars – Integrated designs featuring mezzanines, admin offices, parts storage, or equipment workshops.

How Do You Maintain An Aircraft Hangar After Installation?

After installation, aircraft hangars require regular inspections of the structural frame, roof integrity, drainage, and door mechanisms to protect against environmental elements. HVAC systems, electrical wiring, and fire systems should be tested periodically.

Our company service includes scheduled maintenance plans covering all operational components, with rapid-response support for repairs or replacements. Preventive upkeep ensures the structure remains safe under varying weather conditions and operational loads.
