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

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

How does it work in Waterlooville?

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 Waterlooville

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 Waterlooville: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Waterlooville and across PO7, PO8 and PO9, 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.

Can I get a price for Waterlooville 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.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Waterlooville 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 Waterlooville?

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 Waterlooville as elsewhere we cover.

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.
