Covering Stoke-on-Trent and nearby
We do not keep premises in Stoke-on-Trent. Instead, enquiries about automatic swing doors come to us, we agree the price in writing, and a specialist engineer working under our management travels to the address in the ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4 and ST6 postcode districts on a date that suits the site.
Access in a city centre needs planning. Loading bays, permit parking, pedestrianised streets and delivery windows all affect when an engineer can unload, so a visit to Stoke-on-Trent is booked around them and any restrictions are noted in advance.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic swing doors (straight-line distance): Newcastle-under-Lyme (2.0 miles), Kidsgrove (6.1 miles), Biddulph (7.8 miles), Leek (9.7 miles), Congleton (11.0 miles), Sandbach (12.2 miles).
What to think about for automatic swing doors in Stoke-on-Trent
- 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.
- Schools in Stoke-on-Trent 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.
- Double doors with rebated meeting edges need operators that open and close in sequence. The engineer sets this up so the leaves never clash or leave a gap when closed.
- External swing doors facing the wind need stronger operators and careful set-up. On exposed sites across Staffordshire, consider whether a canopy or a sliding door would work better.
- Fire doors need care. The operator must suit the door, keep its fire performance intact and close the door when the alarm sounds, so have the door's labels and records to hand for the survey.

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.
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.
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 Stoke-on-Trent.
- 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.
Book a free survey in Stoke-on-Trent, and an engineer will check your doors, hinges and fire labels and recommend the right operator.
Automatic swing doors in Stoke-on-Trent: questions
Can you service swing doors in Stoke-on-Trent 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 is the guide price for automatic swing doors in Stoke-on-Trent?
Our guide starts from £2,495 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Stoke-on-Trent confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you fit low-energy operators in Stoke-on-Trent 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 paperwork do we get for automated doors in Stoke-on-Trent?
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 power supply is needed for automatic swing doors in Stoke-on-Trent?
Most powered doors need a fused spur close to the operator, and some activation and access control devices also need a low-voltage link. The survey checks what is already there. If a new supply is required, the quote says whether we arrange it or your own electrician does, so nothing is left unclear on the day.
Do you service doors in Stoke-on-Trent after installing them?
Yes. We recommend a trained engineer checks the safety functions at least once a year, with service intervals set by the manufacturer's instructions and how heavily the door is used; busy doors are often serviced more often. Servicing can follow on from the installation, with the price agreed in writing and a record left after every visit.
Do businesses in Stoke-on-Trent have to fit automatic doors?
No law says every building must have automatic doors. Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and building regulations guidance in England calls for a powered door where an entrance door would otherwise be too heavy to open. An automatic door is often the simplest way to meet both.
