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

After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.

How does it work in Eastleigh?

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 Eastleigh

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 Eastleigh: questions

Do you charge more for Eastleigh than other towns in Hampshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Eastleigh as for anywhere else we cover in Hampshire. 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.

How much is a visit in Eastleigh?

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 Eastleigh as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

Can I get a price for Eastleigh 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.

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.
