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

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.
Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.

How does it work in Stalybridge?

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 Stalybridge

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 Stalybridge: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Stalybridge and across SK15, SK16 and SK14, 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 Stalybridge?

Yes. Stalybridge is part of the area we cover in Greater Manchester, including SK15, SK16 and SK14. 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 Stalybridge?

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

Can I get a price for Stalybridge 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.

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.

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.
