Commercial doors and shop fronts Orpington
Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Glazing in Bromley Borough
Are your commercial doors fully DDA compliant?
Yes. Every commercial entrance door we design and install satisfies all current UK Building Regulations, including Approved Document M and the Equality Act (DDA). We ensure your installation features the mandatory low thresholds for step-free access, proper door leaf width calculations, and required panic hardware for fire escape routes.
Do I need planning permission to alter a shopfront in Orpington?
If you are replacing an existing commercial shopfront like-for-like, planning permission is generally not required. However, if you are changing the structural materials, modifying the layout significantly, or your business resides in a conservation area monitored by the London Borough of Bromley Council, you will likely need formal shopfront planning consent. Our technical team can advise you on local guidelines.
Can you integrate automatic doors and access control systems?
Absolutely. We supply and install automated sliding doors, automatic swing operators, and access control systems (including keypads, proximity fobs, and intercoms). These are highly recommended for high-volume retail locations, medical centers, schools, and corporate office entrances across the Orpington area.
What areas surrounding Orpington do you cover for commercial work?
In addition to central Orpington, our commercial team covers the entire surrounding region, including Bromley, Petts Wood, St Mary Cray, Chislehurst, Lockshottom, Chelsfield, Farnborough, and down toward Sevenoaks and the Kent border.
