What should I know about battery backup and safety upgrades in Newark-on-Trent?

The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
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.
Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in Newark-on-Trent: questions

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Newark-on-Trent?

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 Newark-on-Trent. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

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.

How much is a visit in Newark-on-Trent?

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 Newark-on-Trent as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Newark-on-Trent?

Yes. Newark-on-Trent is part of the area we cover in Nottinghamshire, including NG24. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
