What to think about for revolving doors in Staines-upon-Thames
- 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.
- Tall buildings in Staines-upon-Thames can pull a strong draught through an open entrance. A revolving door controls this better than sliding doors, which is one reason office towers use them.
- 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 Staines-upon-Thames, with clear signs.
- Listed buildings and conservation areas in Staines-upon-Thames may need consent for a revolving door, especially if it projects or changes the façade. Drawings and finish samples help the planning authority.
- Some visitors to buildings in Staines-upon-Thames find revolving doors hard to use. A slow-speed button, clear signs and staff who can direct people to the pass door all help.

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 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.
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 Staines-upon-Thames.
- 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.

Revolving doors in Staines-upon-Thames: questions
Should we choose manual or automatic for our building in Staines-upon-Thames?
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.
What price range should I expect for revolving doors in Staines-upon-Thames?
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 Staines-upon-Thames confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do we need a pass door beside a revolving door in Staines-upon-Thames?
In practice, yes. A revolving door is not accessible on its own, so an accessible powered swing or sliding door should be provided alongside for wheelchair users, pushchairs, deliveries and anyone who needs it. It also usually forms part of the escape strategy. We design and quote both together.
Do you install revolving doors in Staines-upon-Thames?
Yes. We arrange manual and automatic revolving doors, with their accessible pass doors, for buildings in Staines-upon-Thames 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.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Staines-upon-Thames?
If the work replaces an existing door, frame or operator, removal and disposal are listed in the quote. The old door comes out only when the new one is ready to go in, so the opening is not left empty for longer than necessary. Making good to the surrounding wall, floor or ceiling is included where the quote says so.
Can automatic doors be fitted to a listed building in Staines-upon-Thames?
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.
Do businesses in Staines-upon-Thames 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.
