Covering Leatherhead and nearby
Engineers working under our management travel to addresses across the KT22 postcode district for revolving doors. There is no depot or showroom in Leatherhead; you arrange everything with us by phone, email or the form on this page, and we confirm the price in writing first.
Many buildings in Leatherhead 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): Epsom (3.6 miles), Dorking (4.4 miles), Ewell (5.2 miles), Surbiton (6.7 miles), Sutton (6.9 miles), Reigate (6.9 miles).
What to think about for revolving doors in Leatherhead
- 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.
- Some visitors to buildings in Leatherhead find revolving doors hard to use. A slow-speed button, clear signs and staff who can direct people to the pass door all help.
- Hotel entrances in Leatherhead 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.
- 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.
- Busy reception areas in Leatherhead may want to keep people moving during installation week. A second entrance, temporary signs and staged work all help visitors find their way in.

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
- 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 Leatherhead.
- 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.
Tell us about your entrance in Leatherhead, its size and how busy it gets, and we will arrange a free survey for a revolving door and pass door.
Revolving doors in Leatherhead: questions
Can our reception in Leatherhead 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.
What will revolving doors in Leatherhead 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 Leatherhead confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you install revolving doors in Leatherhead?
Yes. We arrange manual and automatic revolving doors, with their accessible pass doors, for buildings in Leatherhead and across Surrey. Specialist automatic door engineers working under our management carry out the survey, installation and commissioning, and we are the contracting party throughout.
Should we choose manual or automatic for our building in Leatherhead?
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.
Can installation in Leatherhead happen outside opening hours?
Yes. Many shops, surgeries and offices prefer work early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends, when the entrance is quietest. Tell us your constraints when you enquire and they are built into the plan. Any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown in the written quote rather than added afterwards.
Do I need permission from a landlord or the council before work in Leatherhead?
It depends on the building. Tenants usually need the landlord's written consent before changing an entrance, and some changes to a shopfront or external door need planning permission. The survey notes anything that may need consent. We can supply drawings and product details to support an application, but the owner or tenant makes it.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Leatherhead?
In England the guidance is Approved Document M (Volume 2) for access, Approved Document B for fire safety and escape routes, and Approved Document K for glazing and powered doors. A new entrance can count as building work, so building control should be involved before it is ordered.
