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

Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.

How does it work in Aberystwyth?

We confirm the visit price and the cost of the battery unit, safety edge or photocells. The visit is booked, with the date confirmed in writing once an engineer is available.

Rules that apply in Aberystwyth

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 Aberystwyth: questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Aberystwyth?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Aberystwyth visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Aberystwyth 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 much is a visit in Aberystwyth?

Prices for battery backup and safety upgrades start from £99 inc VAT, agreed before anyone comes out, and any extra parts are quoted before they are fitted. Because of travel, visits to Aberystwyth are arranged individually and any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the visit is booked.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Aberystwyth?

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 Aberystwyth. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

How many times will a battery backup open the door?

It depends on the unit, the motor and the size and weight of the door. A battery backup is designed for a limited number of cycles in a power cut, not for running the door for days. If you need the door after the battery runs down, use the manual override as the manufacturer's instructions describe.

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.
