What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Tonbridge
- Clear glass is easy to walk into. Plan manifestation at the outset, whether frosted bands or a pattern based on your logo, rather than adding stickers after the door is fitted.
- Every edge and fitting on a frameless door is visible. Choose a top rail and clamp finish, such as satin stainless or black, that suits the rest of the ironmongery in the building.
- Showrooms in Tonbridge with large displays, or vehicles moving in and out, may want a wide bi-parting frameless door with a hold-open mode for deliveries.
- The header needs a rigid fixing. In modern offices in Tonbridge with suspended ceilings, the operator is usually fixed to the slab above with a steel support, which the survey designs in from the start.
- Floor guides need a sound floor. Where the entrance has stone, tiles or polished concrete, agree whether a channel will be cut or a small surface guide fixed, and who makes good the finish.

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
- 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 frameless glass automatic doors and book a survey in Tonbridge.
- 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.

Frameless glass automatic doors in Tonbridge: questions
Is the survey for a frameless door in Tonbridge 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 much should I budget for frameless glass automatic doors in Tonbridge?
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 Tonbridge confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
How long does fitting take in Tonbridge?
Most frameless automatic doors take a day on site once the glass has been made, which is typically 4 to 8 weeks from order. Work in occupied offices can be planned for quieter times, early mornings or weekends, and any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown separately in the quote.
What should we do if the frameless door in Tonbridge 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 installation in Tonbridge happen outside opening hours?
Yes. Many shops, surgeries and offices prefer work early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends, when the entrance is quietest. Tell us your constraints when you enquire and they are built into the plan. Any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown in the written quote rather than added afterwards.
What does the written quote for frameless glass automatic doors in Tonbridge 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.
Do businesses in Tonbridge 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.
