Covering Tottenham and nearby
Homes, businesses and public buildings throughout the N15 and N17 postcode districts 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 Tottenham for the job rather than working from premises in town.
Space for materials and tools is limited at many addresses in Tottenham, 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): Edmonton (1.6 miles), Wood Green (2.1 miles), Walthamstow (2.2 miles), Enfield (3.4 miles), Chingford (3.5 miles), Hackney (3.8 miles).
What to think about for automatic swing doors in Tottenham
- Electric locks must be coordinated with the operator, so the lock releases before the arm moves. Tell us about existing locks, card readers and intercoms at the survey.
- 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.
- External swing doors facing the wind need stronger operators and careful set-up. On exposed sites across Greater London, consider whether a canopy or a sliding door would work better.
- Schools in Tottenham 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.
- Power comes from a fused spur near the head of the door. In older buildings in Tottenham with solid walls, allow time for surface trunking or chasing to reach the operator.

Standards and rules in England
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.
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
- Get in touch. Call, email or use the form with the address and what you have in mind. If you are not sure which type of door suits, describe the entrance and we will suggest the options worth considering.
- Survey and advice. The survey costs nothing and carries no obligation. The engineer checks the site and explains which options suit the entrance, the people using it and the budget, before anything is priced.
- Quote in writing. You receive a fixed, itemised quote for automatic swing doors in Tottenham, covering equipment, installation, testing and handover, with the lead time and payment stages set out clearly.
- Install, test, explain. The engineer installs and commissions the door, tests the sensors, safety functions and emergency behaviour, and walks you through the controls. The handover pack records what was installed and tested.

Automatic swing doors in Tottenham: questions
Is the survey for swing doors in Tottenham 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 Tottenham?
Our guide starts from £2,495 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Tottenham confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
How quickly can a swing operator be fitted in Tottenham?
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.
Do you fit low-energy operators in Tottenham as well?
Yes. Where a door is quieter and used mainly by people who need help opening it, a low-energy operator may be the better choice, as long as a risk assessment shows it is suitable. We compare full-energy and low-energy at the survey and explain the difference in the quote.
What does the written quote for automatic swing doors in Tottenham include?
The quote lists each item separately: the door or equipment, installation, electrical connections where we provide them, removal of anything being replaced, testing and handover. It is a fixed price for the work described, so it does not change unless the scope changes, and any change is agreed with you in writing first.
What should I send before the survey in Tottenham?
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.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Tottenham?
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.
