What should I know about battery backup and safety upgrades in Berwick-upon-Tweed?

The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.

Rules that apply in Berwick-upon-Tweed

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 Berwick-upon-Tweed: questions

Do you cover Berwick-upon-Tweed?

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Berwick-upon-Tweed?

How much is a visit in Berwick-upon-Tweed?

Prices for battery backup and safety upgrades start from £99 inc VAT, agreed before anyone comes out, and any extra parts are quoted before they are fitted. Because of travel, visits to Berwick-upon-Tweed are arranged individually and any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the visit is booked.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Berwick-upon-Tweed?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Berwick-upon-Tweed and across TD15, 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 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.

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.
