Covering Stevenage and nearby
We do not keep premises in Stevenage. Instead, enquiries about frameless glass automatic doors come to us, we agree the price in writing, and a specialist engineer working under our management travels to the address in the SG1 and SG2 postcode districts on a date that suits the site.
Supermarkets and larger stores in and around Stevenage often trade long hours, so work on their entrances is usually planned for early mornings or late evenings. Where a store has more than one entrance, keeping one in use while the other is worked on is part of the plan.

What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Stevenage
- Glass partitions in office buildings across Hertfordshire 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.
- The header needs a rigid fixing. In modern offices in Stevenage with suspended ceilings, the operator is usually fixed to the slab above with a steel support, which the survey designs in from the start.
- Hotels and restaurants in Stevenage often want the door to stay open on warm days and close in bad weather. A programme switch with hold-open and automatic modes makes that a simple daily choice.
- Listed interiors and heritage buildings in Stevenage sometimes favour frameless glass because it hides less of the original fabric. Consent may still be needed, so check with the planning authority early.
- Cleaning staff at busy venues in Stevenage should use non-abrasive products on frameless doors, keep the floor guide clear of grit and report any chipped glass edge straight away.

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
- Describe what you need. Whether the job is frameless glass 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 Stevenage.
- 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.

Frameless glass automatic doors in Stevenage: questions
Is the survey for a frameless door in Stevenage 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.
What will frameless glass automatic doors in Stevenage cost?
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 Stevenage confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can a frameless door in Stevenage be connected to our access control?
Yes. The operator can be linked to card readers, fob readers, keypads, intercoms or a timer, so the door opens freely in working hours and only for authorised people at other times. Tell us what you already have at the survey and the quote will set out the interface work.
What should we do if the frameless door in Stevenage 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.
Will the building stay secure while the entrance is being changed?
We plan to keep the entrance usable or secure throughout. Where a door has to come out, the work is sequenced so the opening is closed up before the engineer leaves, or a temporary door or hoarding is arranged when a longer gap cannot be avoided. How this is handled for your site in Stevenage is agreed before work starts.
Can automatic doors be fitted to a listed building in Stevenage?
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.
Do businesses in Stevenage have to fit automatic doors?
No law says every building must have automatic doors. Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and building regulations guidance in England calls for a powered door where an entrance door would otherwise be too heavy to open. An automatic door is often the simplest way to meet both.
