Automatic door repairs Essex

After any repair to a door in Essex or elsewhere in the East of England, we test the sensors and safety functions before handing it back to you. Faults on an Essex automatic door usually need testing on site, so expect a charged diagnostic visit unless a video shows the cause clearly.

What do we fix in Essex?

Sensor faultsActivation and safety sensors drift, get knocked or fail. We realign or replace them, then test the detection zones.

Track and floor guide damageGrit and impact damage make sliding doors bind. We clean or replace the track and refit the floor guide.

Controller and drive faultsFailed control boards and motors are replaced where parts are available, or a new operator is proposed if they are not.

How much does it cost in Essex?

Budget £165 to £895 ex VAT for most repairs. If the automatic door at your Essex premises is closing on people, switch it off and keep it out of use until it has been checked. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Essex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood.

Do automatic doors have to be serviced by law?

No single fixed legal interval applies, but the law expects them to be kept safe. In Great Britain, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require such equipment to be maintained in working order. Maker's instructions and BS EN 16005 guide what gets checked.

Can I use my automatic door by hand while it is broken?

Usually yes, if the door has a manual or off setting, but follow the maker's instructions. Some doors push open by hand when switched off, while others stay locked. Check you still have a usable escape route before trading with it out of action.

What if my automatic door was damaged in a break-in?

Call the 24/7 emergency line if the entrance cannot be secured, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Damaged glass, track or operators are then priced as a repair. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice, but only your insurer can decide on a claim.
