Covering Stratford-upon-Avon and nearby
Sites across the CV37 postcode district are visited by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management. They travel to Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
In Stratford-upon-Avon, automatic door needs often centre on the high street: independent shops, pharmacies, banks, cafés and estate agents. Frontages are often narrow, so the choice is usually between a compact sliding door, a folding door or a swing operator on the existing door.
Nearby towns we also list for revolving doors (straight-line distance): Warwick (8.2 miles), Leamington Spa (10.2 miles), Kenilworth (12.1 miles), Evesham (12.3 miles), Redditch (12.8 miles), Solihull (15.7 miles).
What to think about for revolving doors in Stratford-upon-Avon
- 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.
- Revolving doors with curved glass drum walls have longer lead times. Allow for them in any refurbishment programme across Warwickshire, and confirm dates before booking floor layers or shopfitters.
- Some visitors to buildings in Stratford-upon-Avon find revolving doors hard to use. A slow-speed button, clear signs and staff who can direct people to the pass door all help.
- Listed buildings and conservation areas in Stratford-upon-Avon may need consent for a revolving door, especially if it projects or changes the façade. Drawings and finish samples help the planning authority.
- Hotel entrances in Stratford-upon-Avon 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
- Get in touch. Call, email or use the form with the address and what you have in mind. If you are not sure which type of door suits, describe the entrance and we will suggest the options worth considering.
- Survey and advice. The survey costs nothing and carries no obligation. The engineer checks the site and explains which options suit the entrance, the people using it and the budget, before anything is priced.
- Quote in writing. You receive a fixed, itemised quote for revolving doors in Stratford-upon-Avon, covering equipment, installation, testing and handover, with the lead time and payment stages set out clearly.
- Install, test, explain. The engineer installs and commissions the door, tests the sensors, safety functions and emergency behaviour, and walks you through the controls. The handover pack records what was installed and tested.

Revolving doors in Stratford-upon-Avon: questions
Do we need a pass door beside a revolving door in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
What price range should I expect for revolving doors in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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 Stratford-upon-Avon confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Will a revolving door in Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
Do you install revolving doors in Stratford-upon-Avon?
Yes. We arrange manual and automatic revolving doors, with their accessible pass doors, for buildings in Stratford-upon-Avon and across Warwickshire. Specialist automatic door engineers working under our management carry out the survey, installation and commissioning, and we are the contracting party throughout.
Do you service doors in Stratford-upon-Avon after installing them?
Yes. We recommend a trained engineer checks the safety functions at least once a year, with service intervals set by the manufacturer's instructions and how heavily the door is used; busy doors are often serviced more often. Servicing can follow on from the installation, with the price agreed in writing and a record left after every visit.
Can automatic doors be fitted to a listed building in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
