Covering Aldershot and nearby
Sites across the GU11 and GU12 postcode districts are visited by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management. They travel to Aldershot for curved automatic doors as bookings come in, so dates depend on the diary rather than a fixed local team, and we give you the earliest date we can offer when you book.
Parking on a busy high street can be tight. When work is booked in Aldershot, the engineer's arrival is planned around loading restrictions, any market days and opening hours, so the visit causes as little disruption as possible.
Nearby towns we also list for curved automatic doors (straight-line distance): Farnham (2.8 miles), Farnborough (3.2 miles), Fleet (3.9 miles), Camberley (6.2 miles), Sandhurst (6.9 miles), Yateley (7.1 miles).
What to think about for curved automatic doors in Aldershot
- 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.
- 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.
- The floor must be level across the whole arc, and the matwell and floor finish need cutting to the same radius as the guides. Coordinate the floor layer with the door programme so the curves match.
- Curved doors on landmark buildings in Aldershot 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.
- A full-round door needs a roof or canopy that can be supported and drained. On exposed sites across Hampshire, think about how rainwater will leave the canopy without running down the glass into the threshold.

Standards and rules in England
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.
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.
How it works
- Describe what you need. Whether the job is curved automatic doors for a busy entrance or for a single internal door, a brief description and some photos let us understand it and plan a survey visit in Aldershot.
- Free visit to the site. An engineer working under our management assesses the opening, the existing door and frame, the floor and the electrical supply, and notes any access, consent or timing issues to plan around.
- Your fixed quotation. The quote is fixed for the work it describes and lists each item, including any removal, making good and electrical work. It also states the lead time, the payment stages and the warranty terms.
- Fitting and sign-off. Work goes ahead on dates agreed with you. Once fitted, the door is adjusted and its safety functions are tested and recorded with reference to BS EN 16005, and you are shown how to use it.

Curved automatic doors in Aldershot: questions
Can the curved door in Aldershot be installed while we stay open?
Often, yes, for a half-round replacement, with the opening secured overnight and the work planned around quieter hours. A full-round door with a new roof usually needs the entrance closed for longer, so a second entrance is helpful. We agree the arrangements with you before the date is fixed.
Is there a guide price for curved automatic doors in Aldershot?
Our guide starts from £14,995 excluding VAT (per entrance), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Aldershot confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Is the site survey for a curved door in Aldershot free?
Yes. For a new curved entrance, the survey costs nothing and carries no obligation. The engineer measures the frontage, checks the structure, floor and power, and discusses the options with you. You then receive drawings and a fixed, itemised written quote.
How long does a curved door project in Aldershot 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.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Aldershot?
If the work replaces an existing door, frame or operator, removal and disposal are listed in the quote. The old door comes out only when the new one is ready to go in, so the opening is not left empty for longer than necessary. Making good to the surrounding wall, floor or ceiling is included where the quote says so.
What does the free site survey in Aldershot involve?
An engineer working under our management visits the building, measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power supply, and looks at how people use the entrance. The survey is free and carries no obligation. Afterwards you receive a fixed, itemised written quote for curved automatic doors, with drawings where the door type needs them.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Aldershot?
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.
