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

A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
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.

How does it work in Bebington?

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 Bebington

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 Bebington: questions

Do you cover Bebington?

Yes. Bebington is part of the area we cover in Merseyside, including CH63, CH42 and CH62. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

Do you charge more for Bebington than other towns in Merseyside?

No. Guide prices are the same for Bebington as for anywhere else we cover in Merseyside. 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 Bebington?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Bebington and across CH63, CH42 and CH62, 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.

Do I still need the manual override if I have a battery backup?

Yes. A battery unit covers a limited number of cycles, and it can run down during a long power cut or as the battery ages. Keep the override handle somewhere you can find it in the dark, and make sure everyone who uses the garage knows where it is and how it works.
