Covering Redditch and nearby
Sites across the B97 and B98 postcode districts are visited by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management. They travel to Redditch 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.

What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Redditch
- Hotels and restaurants in Redditch 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 Redditch sometimes favour frameless glass because it hides less of the original fabric. Consent may still be needed, so check with the planning authority early.
- 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.
- Glass partitions in office buildings across Worcestershire 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.
- Cleaning staff at busy venues in Redditch 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.
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 Redditch, 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 Redditch: questions
Do you fit frameless glass automatic doors in Redditch?
Yes. We arrange supply and installation in Redditch and throughout Worcestershire, 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.
What will frameless glass automatic doors in Redditch 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 Redditch confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Is the survey for a frameless door in Redditch 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.
Will a frameless door suit our street entrance in Redditch?
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.
Do I need permission from a landlord or the council before work in Redditch?
It depends on the building. Tenants usually need the landlord's written consent before changing an entrance, and some changes to a shopfront or external door need planning permission. The survey notes anything that may need consent. We can supply drawings and product details to support an application, but the owner or tenant makes it.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Redditch?
If the work replaces an existing door, frame or operator, removal and disposal are listed in the quote. The old door comes out only when the new one is ready to go in, so the opening is not left empty for longer than necessary. Making good to the surrounding wall, floor or ceiling is included where the quote says so.
Do businesses in Redditch 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.
