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

A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.

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 Enfield

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 England 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 Enfield: questions

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.

How much is a visit in Enfield?

Prices for battery backup and safety upgrades start from £99 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Enfield as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

Do you charge more for Enfield than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Enfield as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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 a battery backup be fitted to a manual roller door?

No. A manual door has no motor or control box for a battery unit to power, because springs in the barrel balance the curtain and you lift it by hand. If you'd like powered operation, a manual-to-electric conversion may be possible when the curtain, barrel, box and guides are sound and compatible.

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.
