Covering Tooting and nearby
Homes, businesses and public buildings throughout the SW17 postcode district can arrange automatic swing doors with us. We are the contracting party and organise every visit; the engineer, who works under our management, travels in to Tooting for the job rather than working from premises in town.
Space for materials and tools is limited at many addresses in Tooting, especially on narrow or pedestrianised streets in Greater London. Larger door sets are delivered for the time of fitting, and access and parking restrictions are planned into the visit.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic swing doors (straight-line distance): Streatham (1.4 miles), Mitcham (1.5 miles), Wimbledon (1.9 miles), Morden (2.4 miles), Clapham (2.8 miles), Wandsworth (2.9 miles).
What to think about for automatic swing doors in Tooting
- Power comes from a fused spur near the head of the door. In older buildings in Tooting with solid walls, allow time for surface trunking or chasing to reach the operator.
- 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.
- 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.
- Office buildings in Tooting 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.
- Doors on escape routes in Tooting 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.

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.
How it works
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Tooting 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 swing doors 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.

Automatic swing doors in Tooting: questions
Is the survey for swing doors in Tooting 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.
Is there a guide price for automatic swing doors in Tooting?
Our guide starts from £2,495 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Tooting confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can you service swing doors in Tooting 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.
What paperwork do we get for automated doors in Tooting?
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.
What do you need from us for parking and access in Tooting?
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.
What does the free site survey in Tooting 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 automatic swing doors, with drawings where the door type needs them.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Tooting?
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.
