What to think about for curved automatic doors in Newcastle-under-Lyme
- 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.
- 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.
- A full-round door needs a roof or canopy that can be supported and drained. On exposed sites across Staffordshire, think about how rainwater will leave the canopy without running down the glass into the threshold.
- Consider a spare curved panel for busy entrances in Newcastle-under-Lyme. It costs more at the start, but a broken leaf can then be replaced without waiting for new glass to be bent.
- 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.

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.
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
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Newcastle-under-Lyme 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 Newcastle-under-Lyme: questions
Do you install curved automatic doors in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Yes. We arrange half-round, full-round and segmental curved doors for buildings in Newcastle-under-Lyme and across Staffordshire. 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 are prices worked out for curved automatic doors in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Our guide starts from £14,995 excluding VAT (per entrance), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Newcastle-under-Lyme 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 Newcastle-under-Lyme 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.
Can you work with our architect or main contractor in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
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.
How much disruption should we expect while the work is done in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
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.
Can automatic doors be fitted to a listed building in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Often, yes, but listed building consent is normally needed for changes that affect the character of the building, inside or out. Slim operators, concealed fixings and automating the existing door can all reduce the visual impact. Speak to the conservation officer at the local planning authority early; we can provide drawings and specifications to help.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
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.
