Covering Egham and nearby
For touch-free and push-button activation, coverage around Egham is set by postcode and includes the TW20 postcode district, as well as nearby addresses in Surrey. Specialist engineers working under our management attend each site, and the price is agreed in writing beforehand.
Doors at quieter sites in Egham and elsewhere in Surrey can go many years between checks. A safety inspection looks at how the sensors, closing behaviour and emergency functions are working, and gives you a written record to keep on file.
Nearby towns we also list for touch-free and push-button activation (straight-line distance): Staines-upon-Thames (2.0 miles), Ashford (4.1 miles), Windsor (4.1 miles), Slough (5.7 miles), Weybridge (5.7 miles), Feltham (6.1 miles).
What to think about for touch-free and push-button activation in Egham
- Homes in Egham often need controls for more than one person. Carers, family and the person using the door may each need their own fob or button.
- Look at where people approach the door from. A switch that can only be reached once someone is already at the door, or in the leaf's path, is in the wrong place.
- Shops on high streets in Egham may want the door to open for customers but not for people walking past outside. Narrowing the sensor field or adding a switch helps.
- Doors next to busy walkways can open for every passer-by on a motion sensor. A wave switch or push pad on that side may cut false openings and heat loss.
- Keep switch heights and symbols consistent across a site. People with sight loss or memory problems find doors easier when every switch is in the same place.

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. Fitting an automatic door helps, but does not on its own guarantee those duties are met.
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 touch-free and push-button activation in Egham, 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.
Send us photos of the door and the switch you have now, and we will plan better activation for your building in Egham.
Touch-free and push-button activation in Egham: questions
Do you fit door controls for homes in Egham?
Yes. We fit wall buttons, fobs, wristbands and wheelchair-mounted switches for home door openers in Egham. For homes, prices are quoted including VAT and the survey costs nothing. Fobs can be added or removed later if carers change or one is lost.
What do you charge for touch-free and push-button activation in Egham?
Our guide starts from £145 excluding VAT (per switch fitted), the same guide price we use across the UK. For homes that is from £174 including VAT. The free site survey in Egham confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can you add touch-free switches to our automatic doors in Egham?
Usually, yes. Most operators have spare inputs for extra devices. We check the door, operator and wiring route at a free survey, then quote a fixed price for the switches and fitting. Wireless switches are an option where running cables would be difficult.
Do touch-free switches work in cold or wet weather in Egham?
Switches for outdoor use are sealed against rain and rated for outdoor temperatures. In exposed spots, a hood or a sheltered position helps. If a switch is outside, we specify one made for that rather than an indoor model, and check it is easy to see and reach in poor light.
Can installation in Egham happen outside opening hours?
Yes. Many shops, surgeries and offices prefer work early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends, when the entrance is quietest. Tell us your constraints when you enquire and they are built into the plan. Any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown in the written quote rather than added afterwards.
How much disruption should we expect while the work is done in Egham?
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.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Egham?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the responsible person for the premises must make sure escape routes work and fire safety equipment is maintained. Automatic doors on an escape route need fail-safe opening or break-out, set by the fire strategy.
