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

You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.
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.
After fitting, the door is tested to check it stops and reverses as it should with the new devices.

How does it work in Redhill?

On the day, the upgrade is fitted and the door is tested. If anything else needs attention, the parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Rules that apply in Redhill

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 Redhill: questions

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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Redhill and across RH1 and RH2, 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 Redhill?

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 Redhill as elsewhere we cover.

Can I get a price for Redhill 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.

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.
