Advanced Automated Access | Aluminium Glazing and Automatic Doors

What we do

Aluminium, entrances and access

Everything from a full curtain walled elevation to a single shutter service visit, handled by the firm that made it.

Aluminium Curtain Walling

Curtain wall set out from the architect drawings, made up and installed to the main contractor programme.

Aluminium Windows and Doors

Commercial window and door sets made to size, from a single replacement to a full elevation.

Shopfronts, Canopies and Brise Soleil

Shopfront glazing, glass canopies and solar shading, detailed so the frontage matches what was drawn.

Automatic Door Systems

Sliding, swing and telescopic automatic doors supplied, installed, commissioned and handed over ready for use.

Roller Shutters and Steel Doors

Security shutters, industrial doors and steel doorsets for loading bays, service yards and plant rooms.

Servicing, Repair and Maintenance

Planned maintenance visits and reactive call outs on automatic doors, manual doors and shutters.

Arnold Clark Motorstore in Wolverhampton with a bronze aluminium glazed frontage wrapping the corner of the showroom

Project 01

Arnold Clark Motorstore, Wolverhampton

A car showroom glazed on two elevations in bronze anodised aluminium, with the frames set out so the mullion lines run unbroken around the corner return. The entrance doors and the full height showroom screens went in as one package.

Project 02

Costa drive through unit

A curved roadside unit where the whole customer facing elevation is glass. The crimson framed screens and the glazed return were made to follow the curve of the building rather than squared off against it, and the entrance was fitted out to suit the drive through layout.

Morrisons store frontage at Little Clacton with full height glazing and green store branding above the entrance

Project 03

Morrisons, Little Clacton

A supermarket frontage glazed from slab to fascia, with the automatic entrance and lobby doors supplied and commissioned as part of the same package. Trading hours meant the installation had to be sequenced around the store staying open.

Why choose us

Made, fitted and maintained by one firm

Most glazing packages pass through three companies before they reach site. This one does not.

Made and fitted by the same firm

The design office and the fabrication sit under one roof, so a site query is answered by the people who made the frame rather than passed down a supply chain.

Built around the programme

Survey, fabrication and delivery planned back from your dates, so the glazing lands when the building is ready for it and does not hold up the follow on trades.

Automatic doors done properly

Operators set up, safety sensors proved and the door handed over working, with the EN 16005 paperwork the building needs at handover.

One contractor, start to maintenance

The firm that designed and installed it is the firm that services it, so nobody spends a fortnight arguing about whose part has failed.

Commercial, retail and industrial

Retail units, offices, education, healthcare and industrial buildings, plus the small works that keep them running.

Engineers, not just fitters

Faults traced to the cause on site rather than swapped part by part, which is what keeps a call out down to a single visit.

About us

Advanced Automated Access Ltd

An aluminium and automatic access contractor based on Canvey Island in Essex, working UK wide on commercial, retail, education and healthcare buildings. Curtain walling, windows, doors, shopfronts, automatic entrances and shutters are drawn, made and installed by the same business.

That matters most when something goes wrong. A frame made in house can be corrected in house, and a door commissioned by our own engineer is a door those engineers already know when it comes up for a service visit two years later.

We have been trading since 2008 and our team carries a combined knowledge of over a hundred years in the trade. The drawing office, the 10,000 sq ft factory and our own powder coating paintline are all under one roof, which is why we can respond when a specification changes and why we deliver faster to market than our competition.
