Covering Wimbledon and nearby
For curved automatic doors, coverage around Wimbledon is set by postcode and includes the SW19 postcode district, as well as nearby addresses in Greater London. Specialist engineers working under our management attend each site, and the price is agreed in writing beforehand.
Victorian and Georgian terraces are common across London, and converted buildings in Wimbledon may have steps, narrow hallways or shared front doors. A home door opener or an operator on a communal door has to work within those limits, and the engineer checks what will fit.
Nearby towns we also list for curved automatic doors (straight-line distance): Morden (1.7 miles), Tooting (1.9 miles), Mitcham (2.2 miles), Wandsworth (2.5 miles), Putney (2.7 miles), Streatham (3.3 miles).
What to think about for curved automatic doors in Wimbledon
- A half-round door often projects beyond the existing building line. In town centres around Wimbledon, check early whether that affects the pavement, the highway boundary or the need for planning permission.
- Curved doors on landmark buildings in Wimbledon 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.
- Listed buildings and conservation areas in Wimbledon may need consent for a curved entrance. Drawings showing the radius, frame colour and canopy detail help the planning authority understand the proposal.
- Hotel entrances in Wimbledon 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.
- Curved entrances in Wimbledon 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
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.
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
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Wimbledon 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.
To replace a tired entrance in Wimbledon with a curved door, tell us the width, the depth available in front of the building and how busy it gets.
Curved automatic doors in Wimbledon: questions
Can you work with our architect or main contractor in Wimbledon?
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.
What price range should I expect for curved automatic doors in Wimbledon?
Our guide starts from £14,995 excluding VAT (per entrance), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Wimbledon confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you install curved automatic doors in Wimbledon?
Yes. We arrange half-round, full-round and segmental curved doors for buildings in Wimbledon 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.
How long does a curved door project in Wimbledon 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.
Is there a warranty on curved automatic doors?
Yes. The warranty terms for the equipment and the installation are set out in your written quote, so you can see exactly what is covered before you accept. Keeping the door serviced at the recommended intervals helps keep it in good order, and the quote explains any conditions that apply to the warranty.
How much disruption should we expect while the work is done in Wimbledon?
Most installations take one visit or a short series of visits, with dust and noise kept to the area around the door. The engineer screens off the work area, keeps a route in or out where possible and clears up before leaving. Larger entrances, lobbies or structural changes take longer, and the quote explains how that work is phased.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Wimbledon?
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.
