Automatic door repairs Kent

Some parts for older automatic doors in Kent or the South East may be discontinued, so we check availability before recommending a repair or a new operator. After any repair to a door in Kent or elsewhere in the South East, we test the sensors and safety functions before handing it back to you.

What do we fix in Kent?

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

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

Break-out and emergency functionsDoors on escape routes are checked for their emergency opening function as part of the repair.

How much does it cost in Kent?

As a guide, allow £165 to £895 ex VAT for most repairs. Faults on a Kent automatic door usually need testing on site, so expect a charged diagnostic visit unless a video shows the cause clearly. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Kent?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Chatham, Dartford.

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.

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.

Is it safe to keep using an automatic door that stops or reverses?

Not if it is touching people or ignoring someone in the doorway. Switch it off and keep it out of use until it has been checked. Intermittent faults are often in the sensors, which are also the door's main safety devices.
