Covering Aldershot and nearby
Engineers working under our management travel to addresses across the GU11 and GU12 postcode districts for automatic door refurbishment. There is no depot or showroom in Aldershot; you arrange everything with us by phone, email or the form on this page, and we confirm the price in writing first.
Independent businesses in Aldershot often have one entrance and cannot close for long. Work is usually scheduled early, late or on a quiet day, and where a door must be out of use for a period, we plan to keep the entrance usable or secure.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic door refurbishment (straight-line distance): Farnham (2.8 miles), Farnborough (3.2 miles), Fleet (3.9 miles), Camberley (6.2 miles), Sandhurst (6.9 miles), Yateley (7.1 miles).
What to think about for automatic door refurbishment in Aldershot
- Floors around the door in Aldershot may be worn or uneven. New floor guides and thresholds sometimes need small areas of making good, which the quote lists separately.
- Exposed entrances in Aldershot suffer most from worn seals and brush strips. New weatherproofing can cut draughts and noise noticeably, especially on doors facing the prevailing wind.
- 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.
- Office blocks and business parks in Aldershot with several matching doors can refurbish them together for a consistent finish and a lower cost per door.
- After refurbishment, sensors and speeds are reset to suit the new parts. Keep the test record with your service history so later engineers can see what was done.

Standards and rules in England
Workplace law (the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992) 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.
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.
How it works
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Aldershot and a note of who uses the entrance help us understand the job before anyone visits the site.
- No-cost survey on site. We arrange a survey at a time that suits the building. The engineer records measurements, fixings and power, plus any constraints such as listed status, opening hours or access for deliveries.
- Itemised quote to approve. We price every element of the work on automatic door refurbishment separately in a written quote that you can check, share and approve. Lead time and payment stages are stated, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
- Fit, test and hand over. On the agreed dates the engineer installs the equipment, commissions the operator and tests each safety function. You get a demonstration, the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.
Send us photos of the door that needs attention in Aldershot, and we will arrange a survey at no cost and an itemised quote for the work.
Automatic door refurbishment in Aldershot: questions
Can refurbishment in Aldershot help with draughts and heating costs?
New seals and brush strips, and leaves that close fully, reduce draughts through a closed door. For very exposed entrances, a second set of doors forming a draught lobby may also be worth considering, and we can price both so you can compare the likely benefit.
What do you charge for automatic door refurbishment in Aldershot?
Our guide starts from £395 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Aldershot confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can you refurbish a door in Aldershot that another company installed?
Yes. We refurbish doors whoever fitted them. The survey identifies the door system, and matching or equivalent rollers, guides, seals and glass are then sourced for it. If a part is no longer made, the quote explains the alternative.
Will our entrance in Aldershot 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.
Can automatic doors be fitted to a listed building in Aldershot?
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.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Aldershot?
If the work replaces an existing door, frame or operator, removal and disposal are listed in the quote. The old door comes out only when the new one is ready to go in, so the opening is not left empty for longer than necessary. Making good to the surrounding wall, floor or ceiling is included where the quote says so.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Aldershot?
In England the guidance is Approved Document M (Volume 2) for access, Approved Document B for fire safety and escape routes, and Approved Document K for glazing and powered doors. A new entrance can count as building work, so building control should be involved before it is ordered.
