Covering Tonyrefail and nearby
We do not keep premises in Tonyrefail. Instead, enquiries about hermetic sliding doors come to us, we agree the price in writing, and a specialist engineer working under our management travels to the address in the CF39 postcode district on a date that suits the site.

What to think about for hermetic sliding doors in Tonyrefail
- Power, building management and fire alarm links need planning with your electrical contractor. Cable routes into sealed cleanroom ceilings must be agreed early, before the panels are sealed.
- Private hospitals, veterinary practices and dental surgeries in Tonyrefail sometimes need hermetic doors for treatment rooms too. The same survey and specification process applies, scaled to the room.
- Choose finishes that stand up to the cleaning regime at your site in Tonyrefail. Stainless steel and high-pressure laminate cope with strong disinfectants, but check the chemicals your cleaning team uses first.
- Theatre doors in Tonyrefail can usually only be replaced during a planned shutdown. Agree the dates with the theatre team early, as the door is made to order and the room needs cleaning and validation after installation.
- Interlocked doors need clear logic. Decide with your engineers which door has priority, how staff override the interlock in an emergency and what the status lights should show.

Standards and rules in Wales
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.
Glass in and beside doors must be safety glass or protected where people could walk into it, and clear glass needs markings so people can see it (Approved Document K, as published by the Welsh Government).
How it works
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Tonyrefail and a note of who uses the entrance help us understand the job before anyone visits the site.
- No-cost survey on site. We arrange a survey at a time that suits the building. The engineer records measurements, fixings and power, plus any constraints such as listed status, opening hours or access for deliveries.
- Itemised quote to approve. We price every element of the work on hermetic sliding doors separately in a written quote that you can check, share and approve. Lead time and payment stages are stated, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
- Fit, test and hand over. On the agreed dates the engineer installs the equipment, commissions the operator and tests each safety function. You get a demonstration, the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.

Hermetic sliding doors in Tonyrefail: questions
Can our existing theatre door in Tonyrefail be upgraded rather than replaced?
Sometimes. Where the leaf and frame are sound, new seals, an adjusted or replaced operator and new touch-free switches can restore performance. Where the frame is damaged or the door is no longer supported, replacement is usually better. The survey looks at both and explains the difference.
What is the guide price for hermetic sliding doors in Tonyrefail?
Our guide starts from £8,995 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Tonyrefail confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you install hermetic sliding doors in Tonyrefail?
Yes. We arrange hermetic doors for hospitals, clinics, laboratories, pharmacies and production sites in Tonyrefail and across Mid Glamorgan. 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.
Can you supply lead-lined hermetic doors in Tonyrefail?
Yes. Lead-lined leaves and frames are made to the lead equivalence your radiation protection adviser specifies, with the same seals, finishes and touch-free activation as other hermetic doors. The extra weight is allowed for in the operator and the fixings.
What happens once the installation in Tonyrefail is finished?
The engineer tests every function, including the safety sensors and the behaviour on power loss, and sets the door up with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown how to use the controls and which simple checks to make, and you receive the handover documents, including the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.
How do you make sure the door works for disabled visitors in Tonyrefail?
We look at who uses the entrance: wheelchair users, people with walking aids, parents with buggies and older visitors. That shapes the opening width, the opening speed, the hold-open time and where push pads or sensors go. Service providers and employers have duties to make reasonable adjustments under equality and accessibility law, and an automatic door is a common one.
Do businesses in Tonyrefail have to fit automatic doors?
There is no blanket requirement. Service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people under the Equality Act 2010, and Welsh building regulations guidance expects entrances that are easy to open. An automatic door is a common way to meet both.
