Covering Stratford and nearby
We do not keep premises in Stratford. Instead, enquiries about safety inspections and risk assessments come to us, we agree the price in writing, and a specialist engineer working under our management travels to the address in the E15 postcode district on a date that suits the site.
Mixed-use blocks in Stratford, with shops or offices at ground level and flats above, often have communal entrances run by a managing agent. Doors there have to suit residents, deliveries and visitors, and approval from the freeholder or agent usually comes before work starts.
Nearby towns we also list for safety inspections and risk assessments (straight-line distance): Canning Town (1.6 miles), Canary Wharf (2.1 miles), East Ham (2.1 miles), Hackney (2.4 miles), Leytonstone (2.5 miles), Whitechapel (3.1 miles).
What to think about for safety inspections and risk assessments in Stratford
- If the use of a building has changed, for example a unit in Stratford that has become a clinic or a gym, the door's original set-up may no longer suit its users.
- Glass leaves need safety glazing and visible markings. Faded or missing manifestation is a common finding, and one of the quickest and cheapest to put right.
- Public buildings in Stratford, such as libraries and leisure centres, often have several doors of different ages. A whole-site inspection puts every door into one ranked report.
- Retail entrances in Stratford with heavy footfall can have sensors knocked out of alignment over time. The inspection checks that detection still covers the full closing edge.
- Care homes and hospitals in Stratford have users who move slowly or unpredictably. The inspection pays close attention to sensor coverage and door speeds where frail or confused people pass through.

Standards and rules in England
No law sets a fixed service interval. We recommend that 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, and that someone on site carries out simple regular checks and keeps a record.
BS EN 16005 is the current standard for the safety in use of powered pedestrian doors, and BS 7036-0:2014 is the British code of practice for risk assessment and risk reduction used alongside it. Standards are not law in themselves, but they are the recognised benchmark for showing an automatic door is safe to use, and we set up, test and document doors with reference to them. Standards are not retrospective, so an older door does not become unlawful when a standard is updated; a site-specific risk assessment shows whether any upgrades are sensible.
How it works
- Share the details. Send the address in Stratford, the door type and make if you know it, and a description or video of the problem. For servicing, tell us how many doors there are and how busy each one is.
- Price confirmed in writing. We agree the visit price in writing before an engineer attends. Some straightforward repairs can be priced in full from photos and the make and model of the door.
- Diagnosis and repair. A specialist engineer attends on the agreed date, finds the cause, repairs or services the door, and tests its operation, sensors and safety functions with reference to BS EN 16005.
- Written record. Each visit ends with a written record for your files. Anything still outstanding, such as parts on order or recommended upgrades, is quoted before any further work is done.

Safety inspections and risk assessments in Stratford: questions
Do we have to use you for the upgrades the inspection recommends in Stratford?
No. The report is yours, and any competent installer can carry out the work. If you want us to do it, each upgrade is quoted separately and itemised, so you can phase the work and start with the high-priority items.
What price range should I expect for safety inspections and risk assessments in Stratford?
Our guide is £125 to £250 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide prices we use across the UK. We agree the visit price in writing before an engineer attends in Stratford, and quote any parts or further work before doing them. The price guide lists typical repair and service costs.
What if a door in Stratford is found to be unsafe?
The engineer explains the problem before leaving and may recommend switching the door to a safer mode until it is fixed. High-priority findings are flagged at the top of the report. We can quote the repair or upgrade straight away, or you can arrange it with another competent installer.
Do you carry out automatic door safety inspections in Stratford?
Yes. We organise the inspection and issue the report, and the assessment in Stratford is carried out by a specialist engineer under our management. Each door is assessed on site against BS EN 16005 hazard zones, its safety sensors are tested and you receive a written report with ranked findings. The inspection price is agreed in writing before the visit.
Can you take over servicing of doors in Stratford from another company?
Yes. Send us the door details and, if you have them, previous service records or inspection reports. The first visit gives a baseline for each door, and its price is agreed in writing beforehand. From then on, records continue in one consistent format, whichever company looked after the doors before.
Which makes of automatic door can you work on in Stratford?
Engineers working under our management work on most makes of automatic door, including sliding, swing, folding, telescopic and revolving types. Some older or obsolete operators have limited parts availability. If that applies, we explain the options, which may include a replacement drive unit on the existing frame, and quote them before anything is ordered.
Do businesses in Stratford 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.
