Covering Egham and nearby
If your building is in Egham, or anywhere in the TW20 postcode district, we can arrange revolving doors. Visits are booked with you in advance, timed around opening hours where that matters, and carried out by engineers who work under our management.
Doors at quieter sites in Egham and elsewhere in Surrey can go many years between checks. A safety inspection looks at how the sensors, closing behaviour and emergency functions are working, and gives you a written record to keep on file.
Nearby towns we also list for revolving doors (straight-line distance): Staines-upon-Thames (2.0 miles), Ashford (4.1 miles), Windsor (4.1 miles), Slough (5.7 miles), Weybridge (5.7 miles), Feltham (6.1 miles).
What to think about for revolving doors in Egham
- A revolving door needs a flat, level floor and often a recess for the bottom bearing and mat. Check whether the existing slab can be cut, or whether the floor needs building up.
- Listed buildings and conservation areas in Egham may need consent for a revolving door, especially if it projects or changes the façade. Drawings and finish samples help the planning authority.
- Busy reception areas in Egham may want to keep people moving during installation week. A second entrance, temporary signs and staged work all help visitors find their way in.
- Revolving doors with curved glass drum walls have longer lead times. Allow for them in any refurbishment programme across Surrey, and confirm dates before booking floor layers or shopfitters.
- Hotel entrances in Egham 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.

Standards and rules in England
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.
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
- Tell us about the entrance. Send the address, a few photos and a rough size of the opening, and say how the door is used. That is enough for us to suggest options for revolving doors and book a survey in Egham.
- Free site survey. A specialist engineer working under our management measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power, and talks through how people use the entrance. There is no charge and no obligation.
- Fixed written quote. You receive a fixed, itemised written quote with the specification, lead time, payment stages and warranty terms. The price does not change unless the scope does, and any change is agreed in writing first.
- Installation and handover. The door is fitted on the agreed dates, then set up, tested and documented with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown the controls and the simple checks to make, and receive the handover paperwork.
Tell us about your entrance in Egham, its size and how busy it gets, and we will arrange a free survey for a revolving door and pass door.
Revolving doors in Egham: questions
How long does a revolving door project in Egham 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 is the guide price for revolving doors in Egham?
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 Egham 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 Egham?
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.
Will a revolving door in Egham work with our fire alarm?
It can. An automatic revolving door can be linked to the fire alarm so it stops, slows or folds as the fire strategy requires, and the pass door can be set to open. Your alarm engineer usually makes the panel connection, and the quote shows who is responsible for each part.
Is there a warranty on revolving doors?
Yes. The warranty terms for the equipment and the installation are set out in your written quote, so you can see exactly what is covered before you accept. Keeping the door serviced at the recommended intervals helps keep it in good order, and the quote explains any conditions that apply to the warranty.
What does the free site survey in Egham involve?
An engineer working under our management visits the building, measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power supply, and looks at how people use the entrance. The survey is free and carries no obligation. Afterwards you receive a fixed, itemised written quote for revolving doors, with drawings where the door type needs them.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Egham?
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.
