Covering Reigate and nearby
If your building is in Reigate, or anywhere in the RH2 postcode district, we can arrange telescopic sliding doors. Visits are booked with you in advance, timed around opening hours where that matters, and carried out by engineers who work under our management.
Many buildings in Reigate 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 telescopic sliding doors (straight-line distance): Redhill (1.5 miles), Horley (4.8 miles), Dorking (5.5 miles), Caterham (6.3 miles), Leatherhead (6.9 miles), Epsom (7.0 miles).
What to think about for telescopic sliding doors in Reigate
- If the entrance is on an escape route, ask your fire risk assessor what the door must do before ordering. Break-out telescopic leaves have to be chosen at the start, because they cannot be added afterwards.
- Medical centres in Reigate often share a frontage with a pharmacy or other units. Check who owns the shopfront and whether the landlord needs to approve a new entrance before the survey drawing is finalised.
- Entrances used by ambulances and patient transport in Reigate benefit from a full-opening button for crews, while everyday visitors use a narrower partial opening that keeps the waiting area warmer.
- Floor guides on two sets of leaves need a level, firm floor. Cracked screed, rocking tiles or a sloping threshold should be put right before fitting, and the quote will say who does it.
- A telescopic header is deeper than a standard one. In older buildings in Reigate with low ceilings or decorative fanlights, the survey checks whether the header can sit above the opening or needs to be recessed.

Standards and rules in England
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.
Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, which can include altering a physical feature such as a heavy entrance door. New entrances and some alterations count as building work, so check with building control before the work is ordered.
How it works
- Tell us about the entrance. Send the address, a few photos and a rough size of the opening, and say how the door is used. That is enough for us to suggest options for telescopic sliding doors and book a survey in Reigate.
- Free site survey. A specialist engineer working under our management measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power, and talks through how people use the entrance. There is no charge and no obligation.
- Fixed written quote. You receive a fixed, itemised written quote with the specification, lead time, payment stages and warranty terms. The price does not change unless the scope does, and any change is agreed in writing first.
- Installation and handover. The door is fitted on the agreed dates, then set up, tested and documented with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown the controls and the simple checks to make, and receive the handover paperwork.
Tell us the width you need and the space either side, and we will arrange a free survey in Reigate for a telescopic sliding door.
Telescopic sliding doors in Reigate: questions
Can you fit telescopic sliding doors in Reigate?
Yes. We arrange supply and installation in Reigate and the rest of Surrey. Specialist automatic door engineers working under our management carry out the survey and the fitting, and we stay the contracting party throughout, so one company is responsible for the drawing, the quote, the installation and the handover paperwork.
Can you give me a price for telescopic sliding doors in Reigate?
Our guide starts from £6,995 excluding VAT (per door set), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Reigate confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can you look after the door in Reigate once it is installed?
Yes. We can quote planned servicing for the new door, with each visit priced in writing beforehand and the interval set by how heavily the door is used and the manufacturer's instructions. Busy entrances such as hospitals and supermarkets are usually serviced more often than quieter offices.
How much wider will our entrance in Reigate be with telescopic doors?
As a rough guide, a telescopic door gives about two-thirds of its overall width as clear opening, against about half for a standard sliding door. On a typical shop or surgery entrance that can mean an extra 300 to 600 mm. The survey drawing for your building in Reigate shows the exact clear width before you commit.
What should I send before the survey in Reigate?
A few photos of the door from inside and outside, rough measurements of the opening, the address and a note of how the entrance is used. If the door already has an operator, a photo of any label on it helps. With that, the engineer arrives prepared, the survey takes less of your time and we can put the quote for telescopic sliding doors together more easily.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Reigate?
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.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Reigate?
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.
