Covering Egham and nearby
Sites across the TW20 postcode district are visited by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management. They travel to Egham for frameless glass automatic doors as bookings come in, so dates depend on the diary rather than a fixed local team, and we give you the earliest date we can offer when you book.
Care homes in and around Egham often need automatic doors on corridors and day rooms as well as at the main entrance. Gentle operation, hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm and controlled exits help residents move about safely.
Nearby towns we also list for frameless glass automatic doors (straight-line distance): Staines-upon-Thames (2.0 miles), Ashford (4.1 miles), Windsor (4.1 miles), Slough (5.7 miles), Weybridge (5.7 miles), Feltham (6.1 miles).
What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Egham
- Glass partitions in office buildings across Surrey 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.
- 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.
- Street-facing doors in Egham that take the full force of wind and rain may be better as framed sliding doors. Frameless leaves have small gaps that let draughts and noise through.
- Power has to reach the operator above the door. In glass partitions there may be nowhere to hide a cable, so plan the route through the ceiling or a slim trunking 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
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
- Start with a short enquiry. Use the form, phone or email. Tell us whether the work is a new door, an upgrade or an opener for a home, and we arrange the next step for your site in Egham.
- Measured survey. The free survey confirms what will fit and what the entrance needs: opening width, door type, activation, safety sensors and behaviour on power loss or fire alarm, matched to how the building is used.
- Written price, no surprises. A fixed, itemised quote sets out the specification, the work involved, the expected lead time and the warranty terms. You can ask questions or change the specification before accepting it.
- Installed and commissioned. The door is installed with as little disruption as possible, then set up and tested for its hazard zones. Before leaving, the engineer explains the controls and hands over the documents for your records.

Frameless glass automatic doors in Egham: questions
Do we need building approval for a frameless door in Egham?
Replacing a door like for like does not always need approval, but new entrances and wider building work can. Building regulations guidance on access to buildings applies to new buildings and to building work on existing ones, and the details differ in each UK nation. Your local building control or building standards service can confirm what applies.
Can you give me a price for frameless glass automatic doors in Egham?
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 Egham confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you fit frameless glass automatic doors in Egham?
Yes. We arrange supply and installation in Egham and throughout Surrey, with specialist automatic door engineers working under our management carrying out the survey and fitting. We are the contracting party, so one company is responsible for the glass, the operator, the installation and the paperwork at handover.
Can a frameless door in Egham match our existing glass partitions?
Usually, yes. We can match glass type and thickness, gap sizes and fitting finishes to the partition, working from the fit-out drawings where you have them. The survey checks the partition head and tolerances, so the new door sits in line with the existing glass and the operator is fixed to something solid above.
How are payments structured for work in Egham?
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.
How much disruption should we expect while the work is done in Egham?
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.
Do businesses in Egham 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.
