What should I know about battery backup and safety upgrades in Stratford-upon-Avon?

A battery backup unit lets the door run for a limited number of cycles when the mains power is off.
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 check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.

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 Stratford-upon-Avon: questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Stratford-upon-Avon?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Stratford-upon-Avon visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you cover Stratford-upon-Avon?

Do you charge more for Stratford-upon-Avon than other towns in Warwickshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Stratford-upon-Avon as for anywhere else we cover in Warwickshire. 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.

How much is a visit in Stratford-upon-Avon?

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 Stratford-upon-Avon as elsewhere we cover.

How many times will a battery backup open the door?

It depends on the unit, the motor and the size and weight of the door. A battery backup is designed for a limited number of cycles in a power cut, not for running the door for days. If you need the door after the battery runs down, use the manual override as the manufacturer's instructions describe.

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.
