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

Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
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.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.

How does it work in Wembley?

On the day, the upgrade is fitted and the door is tested. If anything else needs attention, the parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Rules that apply in Wembley

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 Wembley: questions

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

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

Do you cover Wembley?

Yes. Wembley is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including HA0, HA9 and HA1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Wembley 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.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Wembley?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Wembley and across HA0, HA9 and HA1, 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.

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 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.
