Covering Llanelli and nearby
Homes, businesses and public buildings throughout the SA15 postcode district can arrange curved automatic doors with us. We are the contracting party and organise every visit; the engineer, who works under our management, travels in to Llanelli for the job rather than working from premises in town.
In Llanelli, automatic door needs often centre on the high street: independent shops, pharmacies, banks, cafés and estate agents. Frontages are often narrow, so the choice is usually between a compact sliding door, a folding door or a swing operator on the existing door.
Nearby towns we also list for curved automatic doors (straight-line distance): Gorseinon (5.2 miles), Swansea (10.3 miles), Ammanford (10.7 miles), Carmarthen (13.5 miles), Neath (15.4 miles), Port Talbot (17.5 miles).
What to think about for curved automatic doors in Llanelli
- A half-round door often projects beyond the existing building line. In town centres around Llanelli, check early whether that affects the pavement, the highway boundary or the need for planning permission.
- Curved doors on landmark buildings in Llanelli are often lit at night. Plan canopy lighting, signage and any warm air curtain alongside the door, so cables and fixings are in place before the glass goes in.
- Hotel entrances in Llanelli see bursts of arrivals with luggage and coach parties. Choose a diameter and clear opening that let several people and cases pass together without waiting for a second cycle.
- A full-round door needs a roof or canopy that can be supported and drained. On exposed sites across Dyfed, think about how rainwater will leave the canopy without running down the glass into the threshold.
- Department stores and shopping centres often have landlord fit-out rules for entrances. Ask centre management about approved working hours, hot works and fire alarm connections before the installation date is fixed.

Standards and rules in Wales
Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers in Wales 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.
Wales has its own building regulations guidance. Approved Document M (Wales) uses a lower opening-force limit than England, 20 N at the leading edge, before a powered door is called for, and expects external doors used by the public in new buildings to give at least 1000 mm of effective clear width.
How it works
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Llanelli 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 curved automatic 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.

Curved automatic doors in Llanelli: questions
Do you install curved automatic doors in Llanelli?
Yes. We arrange half-round, full-round and segmental curved doors for buildings in Llanelli and across Dyfed. The survey, installation and commissioning are carried out by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management, and we remain the contracting party from the first drawing to handover.
What price range should I expect for curved automatic doors in Llanelli?
Our guide starts from £14,995 excluding VAT (per entrance), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Llanelli confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
How long does a curved door project in Llanelli take?
Curved doors are typically 8 to 14 weeks from order once the drawings are approved, because the glass and frame are made to your radius. Installation then usually takes two to four days for a half-round door, and longer for a full-round door with a roof. The quote sets out the expected programme for your building.
Can you work with our architect or main contractor in Llanelli?
Yes. Many curved doors are part of a larger refurbishment or new build. We can work from the architect's setting-out drawings, agree the structural opening, canopy and floor details with the contractor, and fit the door at the right stage of the programme so finished floors and glazing are protected.
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 Llanelli is agreed before work starts.
What is the lead time for curved automatic doors in Llanelli?
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.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Llanelli?
The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Automatic doors on an escape route need fail-safe opening or break-out, and sliding or revolving doors must not be used for exits specifically intended as emergency exits.
