What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Exmouth
- Laminated glass is worth considering for ground-floor doors. It stays in place if broken, which keeps the building secure until a replacement leaf can be made.
- Showrooms in Exmouth with large displays, or vehicles moving in and out, may want a wide bi-parting frameless door with a hold-open mode for deliveries.
- Cleaning staff at busy venues in Exmouth should use non-abrasive products on frameless doors, keep the floor guide clear of grit and report any chipped glass edge straight away.
- Glass partitions in office buildings across Devon are often supplied by a fit-out contractor. Share their drawings with us so the door glass, gaps and finishes match the rest of the screens.
- Listed interiors and heritage buildings in Exmouth sometimes favour frameless glass because it hides less of the original fabric. Consent may still be needed, so check with the planning authority early.

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
- Get in touch. Call, email or use the form with the address and what you have in mind. If you are not sure which type of door suits, describe the entrance and we will suggest the options worth considering.
- Survey and advice. The survey costs nothing and carries no obligation. The engineer checks the site and explains which options suit the entrance, the people using it and the budget, before anything is priced.
- Quote in writing. You receive a fixed, itemised quote for frameless glass automatic doors in Exmouth, covering equipment, installation, testing and handover, with the lead time and payment stages set out clearly.
- Install, test, explain. The engineer installs and commissions the door, tests the sensors, safety functions and emergency behaviour, and walks you through the controls. The handover pack records what was installed and tested.

Frameless glass automatic doors in Exmouth: questions
What should we do if the frameless door in Exmouth is damaged?
If the glass is chipped or cracked, switch the door off, keep people away from the damaged leaf and contact us. A repair or replacement visit is priced in writing before an engineer attends, and replacement glass is quoted before it is ordered. Laminated glass usually stays in place until it can be replaced.
Can you give me a price for frameless glass automatic doors in Exmouth?
Our guide starts from £5,495 excluding VAT (per door set), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Exmouth confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Will a frameless door suit our street entrance in Exmouth?
It depends on exposure. Sheltered entrances, recessed doorways and doors behind a canopy usually suit frameless glass well. A door facing straight onto a windy street may suffer from draughts and noise. We will give you an honest view at the survey and, where needed, suggest a framed door or a frameless inner door in a lobby.
Is the survey for a frameless door in Exmouth free?
Yes. For a new frameless automatic door, the survey is free and you are under no obligation. The engineer measures the opening, checks the structure above and the floor below, discusses glass and fittings, and you then receive a drawing and a fixed, itemised written quote.
How are payments structured for work in Exmouth?
Payment stages are set out in the quote before you accept it. Larger or made-to-order jobs may involve a deposit and a balance on completion, while smaller jobs may be invoiced once the work is finished. Nothing is charged for the survey itself, and the terms you accept are the terms that apply.
What does the written quote for frameless glass automatic doors in Exmouth include?
The quote lists each item separately: the door or equipment, installation, electrical connections where we provide them, removal of anything being replaced, testing and handover. It is a fixed price for the work described, so it does not change unless the scope changes, and any change is agreed with you in writing first.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Exmouth?
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.
