Covering Ealing and nearby
Engineers working under our management travel to addresses across the W5 and W13 postcode districts for automatic swing doors. There is no depot or showroom in Ealing; you arrange everything with us by phone, email or the form on this page, and we confirm the price in writing first.
Office entrances in Ealing commonly combine automatic doors with turnstiles, concierge desks and card access. When the operator is wired into those systems, staff pass through quickly, visitors are let in from reception and the building locks down outside working hours.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic swing doors (straight-line distance): Acton (1.1 miles), Chiswick (2.3 miles), Greenford (2.5 miles), Wembley (2.8 miles), Southall (3.0 miles), Willesden (3.3 miles).
What to think about for automatic swing doors in Ealing
- Check the hinges first. Older doors in Ealing often have worn hinges that would fail under an operator, so the survey may recommend heavier hinges or pivots.
- Hospital and care home corridors in Ealing 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.
- Doors on escape routes in Ealing usually open in the direction of escape. If the current door opens the other way, the survey will flag whether it should be changed before the operator is fitted.
- 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.
- Schools in Ealing often prefer installation during half-term or the summer holidays. Operators are typically 2 to 4 weeks from order, so book the survey a few weeks before the break.

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.
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.
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 swing doors and book a survey in Ealing.
- 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 swing doors in Ealing: questions
What paperwork do we get for automated doors in Ealing?
You receive the test record, a site-specific risk assessment, user instructions and the conformity paperwork for each door. When an existing manual door is motorised, whoever does it may take on the manufacturer's duties for the finished door, so the Declaration of Conformity and instructions are handed over at the end of the job.
Is there a guide price for automatic swing doors in Ealing?
Our guide starts from £2,495 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Ealing confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Is the survey for swing doors in Ealing free?
Yes, for new operators and doorsets the survey is free and carries no obligation. The engineer looks at each door, its hinges, frame, locks, power and fire labels, and you receive a fixed, itemised written quote for the work. Each door is priced separately, so the work can be phased if needed.
Can our existing doors in Ealing 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.
What should I send before the survey in Ealing?
A few photos of the door from inside and outside, rough measurements of the opening, the address and a note of how the entrance is used. If the door already has an operator, a photo of any label on it helps. With that, the engineer arrives prepared, the survey takes less of your time and we can put the quote for automatic swing doors together more easily.
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 Ealing is agreed before work starts.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Ealing?
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.
