Covering Tewkesbury and nearby
Sites across the GL20 postcode district are visited by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management. They travel to Tewkesbury for revolving 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.
Many buildings in Tewkesbury are older, with timber frames, thick walls, steps or uneven thresholds. These affect where an operator and sensors can go, and the engineer checks them on site before anything is fitted or adjusted.
Nearby towns we also list for revolving doors (straight-line distance): Cheltenham (7.2 miles), Gloucester (9.4 miles), Malvern (10.8 miles), Evesham (11.3 miles), Worcester (13.8 miles), Stroud (16.8 miles).
What to think about for revolving doors in Tewkesbury
- Busy reception areas in Tewkesbury may want to keep people moving during installation week. A second entrance, temporary signs and staged work all help visitors find their way in.
- 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.
- Plan the pass door first. Wheelchair users, pushchairs and deliveries need an accessible powered door beside the drum, and it should be easy to find from the street in Tewkesbury, with clear signs.
- The fire strategy decides how people will escape. Agree with your fire risk assessor where the pass door and other exits will be before the revolving door is designed.
- Planned servicing is essential on revolving doors because wing edges, stop buttons and sensors protect people on every turn. Budget for regular visits from the start, with each visit priced in writing.

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
- 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 Tewkesbury.
- 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.
Send photos and any drawings of the entrance in Tewkesbury, and we will come back with options for a revolving door and an accessible pass door.
Revolving doors in Tewkesbury: questions
How long does a revolving door project in Tewkesbury 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.
What will revolving doors in Tewkesbury cost?
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 Tewkesbury confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Should we choose manual or automatic for our building in Tewkesbury?
Manual doors suit smaller entrances with steady traffic and are simpler to maintain. Automatic doors suit busier entrances and visitors with luggage, and add sensors, stop buttons and a slow-speed mode. We explain the difference at the survey and recommend the type that fits how your entrance is used.
Do you install revolving doors in Tewkesbury?
Yes. We arrange manual and automatic revolving doors, with their accessible pass doors, for buildings in Tewkesbury and across Gloucestershire. Specialist automatic door engineers working under our management carry out the survey, installation and commissioning, and we are the contracting party throughout.
What power supply is needed for revolving doors in Tewkesbury?
Most powered doors need a fused spur close to the operator, and some activation and access control devices also need a low-voltage link. The survey checks what is already there. If a new supply is required, the quote says whether we arrange it or your own electrician does, so nothing is left unclear on the day.
What is the lead time for revolving doors in Tewkesbury?
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 Tewkesbury 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.
