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

We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
The battery charges from the mains while the power is on, so it's ready the next time there's a power cut.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.
Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.

How does it work in West Bridgford?

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.

Battery backup and safety upgrades in West Bridgford: questions

Do you charge more for West Bridgford than other towns in Nottinghamshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for West Bridgford as for anywhere else we cover in Nottinghamshire. 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 cover West Bridgford?

Yes. West Bridgford is part of the area we cover in Nottinghamshire, including NG2, NG1 and NG3. 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.

How much is a visit in West Bridgford?

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 West Bridgford as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
