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

You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
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.

We survey and fit roller garage doors across Rhondda, including CF42, CF43 and CF41, as part of our coverage in Mid Glamorgan. For reference, Rhondda sits roughly 12 miles from Bridgend.

Rules that apply in Rhondda

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 Rhondda: questions

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

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

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Rhondda and across CF42, CF43 and CF41, 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 much is a visit in Rhondda?

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 Rhondda as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Rhondda?

Yes. Rhondda is part of the area we cover in Mid Glamorgan, including CF42, CF43 and CF41. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
