Covering Feltham and nearby
We do not keep premises in Feltham. Instead, enquiries about accessible door operators come to us, we agree the price in writing, and a specialist engineer working under our management travels to the address in the TW13 postcode district on a date that suits the site.
Hospitals, surgeries and care homes across London deal with heavy footfall and vulnerable users at the same time. In Feltham, doors in healthcare settings are usually set up for gentle, reliable operation, with hold-open devices on fire doors linked to the alarm.
Nearby towns we also list for accessible door operators (straight-line distance): Ashford (2.1 miles), Hounslow (2.7 miles), Sunbury-on-Thames (2.9 miles), Twickenham (3.3 miles), Molesey (3.5 miles), Walton-on-Thames (4.1 miles).
What to think about for accessible door operators in Feltham
- Check how heavy the door is to push now. If the closer is set very strong for fire or wind reasons, the operator has to be chosen to suit, and the closer may need adjusting.
- Glazed doors in shop fronts and offices in Feltham need visible push pads and clear markings on the glass, so people with sight loss can find the pad and see where the door is.
- Doors in exposed spots around Feltham can be caught by the wind. A low-energy operator has limited force, so the survey checks whether the door will open and close reliably on a gusty day.
- Older public buildings in Feltham often have heavy timber doors on worn hinges. Fixing the hinges and the way the door hangs before the operator goes on gives a smoother, longer-lasting result.
- GP surgeries and clinics in Feltham often want the main entrance and the accessible toilet done together. Pricing both at one survey saves a second visit and keeps the controls consistent.

Standards and rules in England
Building regulations guidance in England (Approved Document M, Volume 2) says a powered opening system should be used where a self-closing entrance door would need more than 30 N at the leading edge to open, or more than 22.5 N between 30° and 60°, and expects external doors used by the public in new buildings to give at least 1000 mm of effective clear width.
Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, which can include altering a physical feature such as a heavy entrance door. Fitting an automatic door helps, but does not on its own guarantee those duties are met.
How it works
- Start with a short enquiry. Use the form, phone or email. Tell us whether the work is a new door, an upgrade or an opener for a home, and we arrange the next step for your site in Feltham.
- Measured survey. The free survey confirms what will fit and what the entrance needs: opening width, door type, activation, safety sensors and behaviour on power loss or fire alarm, matched to how the building is used.
- Written price, no surprises. A fixed, itemised quote sets out the specification, the work involved, the expected lead time and the warranty terms. You can ask questions or change the specification before accepting it.
- Installed and commissioned. The door is installed with as little disruption as possible, then set up and tested for its hazard zones. Before leaving, the engineer explains the controls and hands over the documents for your records.

Accessible door operators in Feltham: questions
Our building in Feltham is listed. Can we still have an operator?
Often, yes. Low-energy operators are compact and can sometimes be mounted on the inside face, with cabling hidden. Listed building consent may still be needed for fixings or new switches, so check with the planning authority. We can supply product details for an application.
How are prices worked out for accessible door operators in Feltham?
Our guide is £1,795 to £2,995 excluding VAT (per single door), the same guide prices we use across the UK. The free site survey in Feltham confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can the operator be serviced after installation in Feltham?
Yes. We can arrange visits where the speed, force, safety settings, push pads and closer are checked and a written record is left. You agree the cost of each visit in writing beforehand, and how often we come depends on how much the door is used.
What if the door in Feltham is too heavy for a low-energy operator?
Some large or exposed doors need a full-energy operator with safety sensors, or a lighter replacement door, to work reliably. The survey will tell you which, and the quote explains why. Where it will work, we offer the low-energy option first because it is simpler to live with.
What does the free site survey in Feltham involve?
An engineer working under our management visits the building, measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power supply, and looks at how people use the entrance. The survey is free and carries no obligation. Afterwards you receive a fixed, itemised written quote for accessible door operators, with drawings where the door type needs them.
Can automatic doors be fitted to a listed building in Feltham?
Often, yes, but listed building consent is normally needed for changes that affect the character of the building, inside or out. Slim operators, concealed fixings and automating the existing door can all reduce the visual impact. Speak to the conservation officer at the local planning authority early; we can provide drawings and specifications to help.
Do businesses in Feltham have to fit automatic doors?
No law says every building must have automatic doors. Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and building regulations guidance in England calls for a powered door where an entrance door would otherwise be too heavy to open. An automatic door is often the simplest way to meet both.
