What should I know about battery backup and safety upgrades in Leighton Buzzard?
- We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
- Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
- Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
- A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Leighton Buzzard: questions
Can I get a price for Leighton Buzzard without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Leighton Buzzard?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Leighton Buzzard and across LU7, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.
Do you cover Leighton Buzzard?
Yes. Leighton Buzzard is part of the area we cover in Bedfordshire, including LU7. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Leighton Buzzard?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Leighton Buzzard. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Can safety devices be added to an older electric door?
Usually, if a compatible safety edge or photocells are available for the control box. Some older systems need extra wiring or a replacement control box first. Tell us what's on the control box label and we'll confirm whether it can be done, and the price, before booking the visit.
Do I still need the manual override if I have a battery backup?
Yes. A battery unit covers a limited number of cycles, and it can run down during a long power cut or as the battery ages. Keep the override handle somewhere you can find it in the dark, and make sure everyone who uses the garage knows where it is and how it works.
