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

A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.

How does it work in Pontypridd?

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 Pontypridd

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 Wales 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 Pontypridd: questions

Do you cover Pontypridd?

Yes. Pontypridd is part of the area we cover in Mid Glamorgan, including CF37 and CF38. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Pontypridd?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Pontypridd visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Pontypridd and across CF37 and CF38, 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 Pontypridd 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.

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.

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.
