Covering Coventry and nearby
Engineers working under our management travel to addresses across the CV1, CV2, CV3, CV4, CV5 and CV6 postcode districts for telescopic sliding doors. There is no depot or showroom in Coventry; you arrange everything with us by phone, email or the form on this page, and we confirm the price in writing first.
Tall buildings can create strong wind at ground level, and wind pressure is a common cause of sliding doors stalling or reversing. Lobbies, telescopic leaves and correctly set closing force all help, and the engineer looks at exposure before recommending changes.
Nearby towns we also list for telescopic sliding doors (straight-line distance): Kenilworth (4.9 miles), Bedworth (5.3 miles), Nuneaton (8.3 miles), Leamington Spa (8.4 miles), Warwick (9.0 miles), Rugby (10.7 miles).
What to think about for telescopic sliding doors in Coventry
- Entrances across the West Midlands that face the prevailing wind can suffer from leaves dragging or sensors reacting to blown debris. A canopy, a draught lobby or careful sensor set-up deals with most of these problems.
- Medical centres in Coventry 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.
- Shop units in Coventry that trade late or open early may want installation outside trading hours. Early starts and weekend work can usually be arranged and are shown as a separate line in the quote.
- 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.
- Measure the widest thing that has to pass through, whether that is a hospital bed, a mobility scooter or a cage of stock. The clear opening of a telescopic door is chosen from that figure, not from the size of the old doorway.

Standards and rules in England
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.
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.
How it works
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Coventry 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 telescopic sliding 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.

Telescopic sliding doors in Coventry: questions
How much wider will our entrance in Coventry 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 Coventry shows the exact clear width before you commit.
Is there a guide price for telescopic sliding doors in Coventry?
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 Coventry confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Is the telescopic door survey in Coventry really free?
Yes, for a new telescopic entrance the site survey costs nothing and carries no obligation. The engineer measures the opening, checks the structure, floor and power, and talks through layouts. You then receive a measured drawing and a fixed, itemised written quote, and you decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fit telescopic sliding doors in Coventry?
Yes. We arrange supply and installation in Coventry and the rest of the West Midlands. 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.
What does the free site survey in Coventry involve?
An engineer working under our management visits the building, measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power supply, and looks at how people use the entrance. The survey is free and carries no obligation. Afterwards you receive a fixed, itemised written quote for telescopic sliding doors, with drawings where the door type needs them.
What happens once the installation in Coventry is finished?
The engineer tests every function, including the safety sensors and the behaviour on power loss, and sets the door up with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown how to use the controls and which simple checks to make, and you receive the handover documents, including the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.
Do businesses in Coventry 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.
