Covering Wokingham and nearby
For automatic swing doors, coverage around Wokingham is set by postcode and includes the RG40 and RG41 postcode districts, as well as nearby addresses in Berkshire. Specialist engineers working under our management attend each site, and the price is agreed in writing beforehand.
Many buildings in Wokingham are older, with timber frames, thick walls, steps or uneven thresholds. These affect where an operator and sensors can go, and the engineer checks them on site before anything is fitted or adjusted.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic swing doors (straight-line distance): Woodley (3.4 miles), Crowthorne (3.4 miles), Bracknell (3.7 miles), Yateley (4.7 miles), Sandhurst (4.9 miles), Camberley (6.5 miles).
What to think about for automatic swing doors in Wokingham
- Office buildings in Wokingham with access control can have doors that open automatically in working hours and only for card holders after hours, using a timer and the existing reader.
- Hospital and care home corridors in Wokingham need doors that open early enough for beds and trolleys. Radar sensors set to the right range, or a push pad placed before the door, keep traffic moving.
- External swing doors facing the wind need stronger operators and careful set-up. On exposed sites across Berkshire, consider whether a canopy or a sliding door would work better.
- Toilet and changing room doors used by disabled people may suit a low-energy operator instead. The survey compares the options based on how busy the door is and who uses it.
- Doors that open into a corridor can strike people approaching from the side. Guard rails or extra sensors may be needed where the swing area meets a busy route.

Standards and rules in England
In Great Britain a new or converted powered door must meet the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 before it is first used, and can carry the UKCA or the CE marking. 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.
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. New entrances and some alterations count as building work, so check with building control before the work is ordered.

Automatic swing doors in Wokingham: questions
Can you service swing doors in Wokingham after fitting?
Yes. We can arrange planned servicing, with each visit priced in writing before an engineer attends. A trained engineer should check the safety functions at least once a year, and busy corridors, schools and hospitals usually need more frequent visits. Staff should also carry out simple daily checks.
Can you give me a price for automatic swing doors in Wokingham?
Our guide starts from £2,495 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Wokingham confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can our existing doors in Wokingham be automated?
Usually, if the doors, hinges and frames are in good condition. The survey checks the door weight, the hinges, what the operator will fix to and what sits in the swing path. Where a door is too worn, we will say so and quote a new doorset with the operator fitted instead.
How quickly can a swing operator be fitted in Wokingham?
Operators for existing doors are typically 2 to 4 weeks from order. On site, a single door usually takes half a day to a day, and a pair about a day. We can plan work for evenings, weekends or holidays where the building is busy, with any extra cost shown in the quote.
What is the lead time for automatic swing doors in Wokingham?
Lead times depend on the door type and what has to be made to order. As a guide, operators and accessible door kits are typically two to four weeks from order, and complete sliding entrances typically four to eight weeks from drawing approval. Curved, revolving and hermetic doors usually take longer. The expected lead time is stated in your quote.
How do you make sure the door works for disabled visitors in Wokingham?
We look at who uses the entrance: wheelchair users, people with walking aids, parents with buggies and older visitors. That shapes the opening width, the opening speed, the hold-open time and where push pads or sensors go. Service providers and employers have duties to make reasonable adjustments under equality and accessibility law, and an automatic door is a common one.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Wokingham?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the responsible person for the premises must make sure escape routes work and fire safety equipment is maintained. Automatic doors on an escape route need fail-safe opening or break-out, set by the fire strategy.
