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

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.
You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Ebbw Vale: questions

How much is a visit in Ebbw Vale?

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 Ebbw Vale as elsewhere we cover.

Can I get a price for Ebbw Vale 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Ebbw Vale?

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

Do you charge more for Ebbw Vale than other towns in Gwent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Ebbw Vale as for anywhere else we cover in Gwent. 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 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.

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.
