What to think about for curved automatic doors in Sutton-in-Ashfield
- Listed buildings and conservation areas in Sutton-in-Ashfield may need consent for a curved entrance. Drawings showing the radius, frame colour and canopy detail help the planning authority understand the proposal.
- If the entrance is on an escape route, the fire strategy decides how the door must behave when the alarm sounds or the power fails. Confirm this with your fire risk assessor before the design is fixed.
- A full-round door needs a roof or canopy that can be supported and drained. On exposed sites across Nottinghamshire, think about how rainwater will leave the canopy without running down the glass into the threshold.
- Curved entrances in Sutton-in-Ashfield 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.
- A half-round door often projects beyond the existing building line. In town centres around Sutton-in-Ashfield, check early whether that affects the pavement, the highway boundary or the need for planning permission.

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 curved automatic doors and book a survey in Sutton-in-Ashfield.
- 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.

Curved automatic doors in Sutton-in-Ashfield: questions
Can you work with our architect or main contractor in Sutton-in-Ashfield?
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 will curved automatic doors in Sutton-in-Ashfield cost?
Our guide starts from £14,995 excluding VAT (per entrance), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Sutton-in-Ashfield 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 Sutton-in-Ashfield?
Yes. We arrange half-round, full-round and segmental curved doors for buildings in Sutton-in-Ashfield and across Nottinghamshire. 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.
Will we need planning permission for a curved entrance in Sutton-in-Ashfield?
Possibly. A curved door that changes the look of the frontage or projects beyond the building line may need planning permission, and listed buildings may need listed building consent. Your local planning authority decides. We raise the question at survey and can supply drawings and product details for an application.
What should I send before the survey in Sutton-in-Ashfield?
A few photos of the door from inside and outside, rough measurements of the opening, the address and a note of how the entrance is used. If the door already has an operator, a photo of any label on it helps. With that, the engineer arrives prepared, the survey takes less of your time and we can put the quote for curved automatic doors together more easily.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Sutton-in-Ashfield?
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.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Sutton-in-Ashfield?
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.
