Covering Brentwood and nearby
Sites across the CM13, CM14 and CM15 postcode districts are visited by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management. They travel to Brentwood for hermetic sliding 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.

- Infection control rules in hospitals across Essex usually require screening, dust control and permits for work in clinical areas. Share your procedures at survey so they are built into the programme.

Standards and rules in England
Glass in and beside doors must be safety glass or protected where people could walk into it, and clear glass needs markings in two bands, 850 mm to 1000 mm and 1400 mm to 1600 mm above the floor (Approved Document K).
BS EN 16005 is the current standard for the safety in use of powered pedestrian doors, and BS 7036-0:2014 is the British code of practice for risk assessment and risk reduction used alongside it. Standards are not law in themselves, but they are the recognised benchmark for showing an automatic door is safe to use, and we set up, test and document doors with reference to them.

Hermetic sliding doors in Brentwood: questions
Do you install hermetic sliding doors in Brentwood?
Yes. We arrange hermetic doors for hospitals, clinics, laboratories, pharmacies and production sites in Brentwood and across Essex. Specialist automatic door engineers working under our management survey, install and commission the doors, and we remain the contracting party responsible for the work and the paperwork.

Will the hermetic door in Brentwood link to our building management system?
It can. The operator can send door status to the building management system and receive signals from it, as well as from the fire alarm and access control. The interface is agreed with your controls contractor and shown in the quote, so responsibilities are clear.
Who maintains hermetic doors in Brentwood once fitted?
We can, through planned servicing with each visit priced in writing before an engineer attends. Seals, sensors and interlocks need regular checks, and a trained engineer should test the safety functions at least once a year. Many theatres and cleanrooms schedule more frequent checks as part of their own maintenance programme.
Can automatic doors be fitted to a listed building in Brentwood?
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.
What is the lead time for hermetic sliding doors in Brentwood?
Lead times depend on the door type and what has to be made to order. As a guide, operators and accessible door kits are typically two to four weeks from order, and complete sliding entrances typically four to eight weeks from drawing approval. Curved, revolving and hermetic doors usually take longer. The expected lead time is stated in your quote.
Do businesses in Brentwood 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.
