What should I know about battery backup and safety upgrades in Colwyn Bay?

After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.

How does it work in Colwyn Bay?

Rules that apply in Colwyn Bay

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in Wales some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Colwyn Bay: questions

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Colwyn Bay?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Colwyn Bay and across LL29 and LL28, 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.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

Do you charge more for Colwyn Bay than other towns in Clwyd?

No. Guide prices are the same for Colwyn Bay as for anywhere else we cover in Clwyd. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Can I get a price for Colwyn Bay 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.

How often should I test the safety edge and photocells?

Test them monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door. The aim is to confirm that the door stops or reverses when the safety edge meets an obstruction, and won't close while the photocell beam is broken. If either test fails, don't keep using the door until it has been checked, and request a visit.

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.
