Covering Cheltenham and nearby
Engineers working under our management travel to addresses across the GL50, GL51, GL52 and GL53 postcode districts for revolving doors. There is no depot or showroom in Cheltenham; you arrange everything with us by phone, email or the form on this page, and we confirm the price in writing first.
Business parks around Cheltenham tend to have reception doors that see steady rather than heavy traffic, often with access control after hours. A swing or sliding operator linked to a card reader or intercom is a common arrangement for entrances like these.
Nearby towns we also list for revolving doors (straight-line distance): Tewkesbury (7.2 miles), Gloucester (7.4 miles), Stroud (11.6 miles), Cirencester (13.3 miles), Evesham (14.4 miles), Malvern (18.0 miles).
What to think about for revolving doors in Cheltenham
- Revolving doors with curved glass drum walls have longer lead times. Allow for them in any refurbishment programme across Gloucestershire, and confirm dates before booking floor layers or shopfitters.
- Hotel entrances in Cheltenham see guests with large cases and families with pushchairs. A larger three-wing automatic door and a clearly signed pass door keep the flow moving.
- Night security needs thought. Decide whether the wings will lock across the drum or a night shield is needed, and how the pass door and any shutters will be secured.
- Busy reception areas in Cheltenham may want to keep people moving during installation week. A second entrance, temporary signs and staged work all help visitors find their way in.
- Listed buildings and conservation areas in Cheltenham may need consent for a revolving door, especially if it projects or changes the façade. Drawings and finish samples help the planning authority.

Standards and rules in England
Building regulations guidance treats revolving doors as not accessible on their own, so an accessible powered swing or sliding door should be provided alongside. In England, fire safety law says sliding or revolving doors must not be used for exits specifically intended as emergency exits.
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.
How it works
- Describe what you need. Whether the job is revolving doors for a busy entrance or for a single internal door, a brief description and some photos let us understand it and plan a survey visit in Cheltenham.
- Free visit to the site. An engineer working under our management assesses the opening, the existing door and frame, the floor and the electrical supply, and notes any access, consent or timing issues to plan around.
- Your fixed quotation. The quote is fixed for the work it describes and lists each item, including any removal, making good and electrical work. It also states the lead time, the payment stages and the warranty terms.
- Fitting and sign-off. Work goes ahead on dates agreed with you. Once fitted, the door is adjusted and its safety functions are tested and recorded with reference to BS EN 16005, and you are shown how to use it.
Send photos and any drawings of the entrance in Cheltenham, and we will come back with options for a revolving door and an accessible pass door.
Revolving doors in Cheltenham: questions
Who services a revolving door in Cheltenham after installation?
We can, with each visit priced in writing before an engineer attends. Revolving doors should have their safety sensors, stop buttons and wing edges checked by a trained engineer at least once a year, and busy entrances usually need more frequent visits. Staff should also make simple daily checks and keep a record.
Can you give me a price for revolving doors in Cheltenham?
Our guide is £29,995 to £59,995 excluding VAT (per automatic door), the same guide prices we use across the UK. The free site survey in Cheltenham confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
How long does a revolving door project in Cheltenham take?
Revolving doors are typically 8 to 14 weeks from order, once drawings are approved. On site, an automatic revolving door usually takes several days, covering floor preparation, drum and canopy, wings, drive and commissioning. We agree the programme with you and plan how visitors will get in while the work is done.
Can our reception in Cheltenham stay open during installation?
Usually, if there is a second entrance or the pass door can be fitted first. We stage the work so the building stays secure overnight and visitors are directed clearly. Where the revolving door is the only way in, we discuss weekend or out-of-hours working, with any extra cost shown in the quote.
Can automatic doors be fitted to a listed building in Cheltenham?
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 happens once the installation in Cheltenham 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.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Cheltenham?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the responsible person for the premises must make sure escape routes work and fire safety equipment is maintained. Automatic doors on an escape route need fail-safe opening or break-out, set by the fire strategy.
