Covering Armagh and nearby
From shops and surgeries to schools, care homes and private houses, any building in the BT60 and BT61 postcode districts can be covered for automatic door refurbishment. Specialist engineers working under our management carry out the work, and you deal with us as the contracting party from start to finish.
Parking on a busy high street can be tight. When work is booked in Armagh, the engineer's arrival is planned around loading restrictions, any market days and opening hours, so the visit causes as little disruption as possible.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic door refurbishment (straight-line distance): Portadown (10.3 miles), Dungannon (11.3 miles), Craigavon (13.1 miles), Banbridge (15.4 miles), Lurgan (15.6 miles), Newry (17.8 miles).
What to think about for automatic door refurbishment in Armagh
- If the operator is close to the end of its life, refurbishing the running gear while fitting a new drive unit saves a second visit and a second set-up.
- Frames near the coast or busy roads can corrode faster. The survey checks fixings and the bottom of the frame, where water and grit tend to collect.
- Busy retail units in Armagh may prefer the work done in stages, one leaf at a time, so the entrance stays open throughout trading hours.
- Office blocks and business parks in Armagh with several matching doors can refurbish them together for a consistent finish and a lower cost per door.
- Exposed entrances in Armagh suffer most from worn seals and brush strips. New weatherproofing can cut draughts and noise noticeably, especially on doors facing the prevailing wind.

Standards and rules in Northern Ireland
Standards are not retrospective, so an older door does not become unlawful when a standard is updated; a site-specific risk assessment shows whether any upgrades are sensible. BS EN 16005 is the current standard for the safety in use of powered pedestrian doors, and BS 7036-0:2014 is the British code of practice for risk assessment and risk reduction used alongside it. Standards are not law in themselves, but they are the recognised benchmark for showing an automatic door is safe to use, and we set up, test and document doors with reference to them.
Workplace law (the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993) expects powered doors to have suitable and effective features to stop them trapping anyone and, where needed for safety, to open by hand unless they open automatically if the power fails. Doors at work must also be kept in efficient working order under a suitable system of maintenance.
How it works
- Tell us about the entrance. Send the address, a few photos and a rough size of the opening, and say how the door is used. That is enough for us to suggest options for automatic door refurbishment and book a survey in Armagh.
- Free site survey. A specialist engineer working under our management measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power, and talks through how people use the entrance. There is no charge and no obligation.
- Fixed written quote. You receive a fixed, itemised written quote with the specification, lead time, payment stages and warranty terms. The price does not change unless the scope does, and any change is agreed in writing first.
- Installation and handover. The door is fitted on the agreed dates, then set up, tested and documented with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown the controls and the simple checks to make, and receive the handover paperwork.

Automatic door refurbishment in Armagh: questions
Will our entrance in Armagh stay open during refurbishment?
Often, at least in part. Many jobs can be done one leaf at a time, and the work can be planned for quieter hours. If the entrance does need to close, the quote says for how long, so you can arrange another way in for staff and visitors.
What price range should I expect for automatic door refurbishment in Armagh?
Our guide starts from £395 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Armagh confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you refurbish automatic doors in Armagh?
Yes. Refurbishment work in Armagh is planned and priced by us, then carried out by automatic door engineers and glaziers working under our management. There is no charge for the survey, and you receive a fixed quote with each item priced separately, from new glass and rollers to seals, floor guides, the threshold and frame refinishing.
Is it worth refurbishing an old door at our premises in Armagh?
If the frame is sound and the opening size still works, usually yes, as refurbishment costs far less than a new door. If the frame is corroded, the glass is not safety glass or the opening is too narrow, a new door may be better value, and the survey tells you which.
Will the building stay secure while the entrance is being changed?
We plan to keep the entrance usable or secure throughout. Where a door has to come out, the work is sequenced so the opening is closed up before the engineer leaves, or a temporary door or hoarding is arranged when a longer gap cannot be avoided. How this is handled for your site in Armagh is agreed before work starts.
What do you need from us for parking and access in Armagh?
Somewhere for the engineer's van as close to the entrance as possible, and a clear working area around the door. If parking is restricted, loading rules apply or the site has security procedures, tell us when you book. Those details go into the plan so the visit is not held up on the day.
Which accessibility law applies in Armagh?
In Northern Ireland the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 applies, because the Equality Act 2010 does not extend there. Service providers and employers are expected to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and an automatic door is a common one at entrances.
