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

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.
We check your motor and control box are compatible with the upgrade before the visit is booked, not on the day.
You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.

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.

Rules that apply in Neath

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 Wales 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 Neath: questions

Do you cover Neath?

Yes. Neath is part of the area we cover in West Glamorgan, including SA11 and SA10. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Neath than other towns in West Glamorgan?

No. Guide prices are the same for Neath as for anywhere else we cover in West Glamorgan. 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 repair roller doors you did not fit in Neath?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Neath and across SA11 and SA10, 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Neath?

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 Neath. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

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.

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.
