Covering Haywards Heath and nearby
We do not keep premises in Haywards Heath. Instead, enquiries about revolving doors come to us, we agree the price in writing, and a specialist engineer working under our management travels to the address in the RH16 postcode district on a date that suits the site.
Small offices, community centres and village halls around Haywards Heath tend to have one main entrance, often used by visitors who need level access without steps. Automating the existing door, rather than replacing it, is frequently the most practical and affordable route.
Nearby towns we also list for revolving doors (straight-line distance): Burgess Hill (3.0 miles), Crawley (8.7 miles), Uckfield (8.9 miles), East Grinstead (9.7 miles), Lewes (9.8 miles), Horsham (10.8 miles).
What to think about for revolving doors in Haywards Heath
- 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.
- Listed buildings and conservation areas in Haywards Heath 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 Haywards Heath 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.
- Some visitors to buildings in Haywards Heath find revolving doors hard to use. A slow-speed button, clear signs and staff who can direct people to the pass door all help.
- Tall buildings in Haywards Heath 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.

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
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Haywards Heath and a note of who uses the entrance help us understand the job before anyone visits the site.
- No-cost survey on site. We arrange a survey at a time that suits the building. The engineer records measurements, fixings and power, plus any constraints such as listed status, opening hours or access for deliveries.
- Itemised quote to approve. We price every element of the work on revolving doors separately in a written quote that you can check, share and approve. Lead time and payment stages are stated, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
- Fit, test and hand over. On the agreed dates the engineer installs the equipment, commissions the operator and tests each safety function. You get a demonstration, the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.

Revolving doors in Haywards Heath: questions
How long does a revolving door project in Haywards Heath 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.
Can you give me a price for revolving doors in Haywards Heath?
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 Haywards Heath 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 Haywards Heath?
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.
Is the survey for a revolving door in Haywards Heath free?
Yes. For a new revolving door and pass door, the survey costs nothing and carries no obligation. We look at the space, structure, floor, traffic and fire strategy, then send drawings and a fixed, itemised written quote. Each item is listed separately, which makes it easy to compare with other quotes.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Haywards Heath?
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.
How much disruption should we expect while the work is done in Haywards Heath?
Most installations take one visit or a short series of visits, with dust and noise kept to the area around the door. The engineer screens off the work area, keeps a route in or out where possible and clears up before leaving. Larger entrances, lobbies or structural changes take longer, and the quote explains how that work is phased.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Haywards Heath?
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.
