What to think about for curved automatic doors in Battersea
- Consider a spare curved panel for busy entrances in Battersea. It costs more at the start, but a broken leaf can then be replaced without waiting for new glass to be bent.
- Curved glass cannot be cut to size on site. Allow for the longer lead time in any refurbishment programme, and do not book shopfitters or floor layers for the entrance until the door has a delivery date.
- Busy entrances with curved floor guides collect grit from the street. A good matwell and regular cleaning of the guide channels keep the leaves running smoothly around the arc.
- 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.
- Curved entrances in Battersea are often installed during a wider refurbishment. Working with the main contractor on dates, power and protection of the finished floor helps the door go in once, without return visits.

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
- Start with a short enquiry. Use the form, phone or email. Tell us whether the work is a new door, an upgrade or an opener for a home, and we arrange the next step for your site in Battersea.
- Measured survey. The free survey confirms what will fit and what the entrance needs: opening width, door type, activation, safety sensors and behaviour on power loss or fire alarm, matched to how the building is used.
- Written price, no surprises. A fixed, itemised quote sets out the specification, the work involved, the expected lead time and the warranty terms. You can ask questions or change the specification before accepting it.
- Installed and commissioned. The door is installed with as little disruption as possible, then set up and tested for its hazard zones. Before leaving, the engineer explains the controls and hands over the documents for your records.
Send us photos of the frontage in Battersea and any drawings you have, and we will arrange a free survey for a curved automatic entrance.
Curved automatic doors in Battersea: questions
Do you install curved automatic doors in Battersea?
Yes. We arrange half-round, full-round and segmental curved doors for buildings in Battersea and across Greater London. 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.
Is there a guide price for curved automatic doors in Battersea?
Our guide starts from £14,995 excluding VAT (per entrance), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Battersea confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Who looks after a curved door in Battersea once it is fitted?
You can arrange servicing with us, with each visit priced in writing beforehand. Curved doors need regular attention to the floor guides and carriages that follow the arc. A trained engineer should check the safety functions at least once a year, and busy hotel or store entrances are usually serviced more often.
Can a curved door in Battersea replace a revolving door?
In many cases, yes. A full-round curved door gives similar draught protection with a straight, open path through, which many visitors find easier than a revolving door. The survey checks whether the existing drum position, floor recess and canopy can be reused or need altering.
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 Battersea is agreed before work starts.
What happens once the installation in Battersea is finished?
The engineer tests every function, including the safety sensors and the behaviour on power loss, and sets the door up with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown how to use the controls and which simple checks to make, and you receive the handover documents, including the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Battersea?
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.
