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

Where a door has never had photocells, any extra wiring needed is priced before we come out.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door if it touches something while closing.
Photocells mounted either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam.
You're shown how to test the safety edge and photocells monthly, following the manufacturer's instructions for your door.

Rules that apply in Burgess Hill

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 Burgess Hill: questions

Can I get a price for Burgess Hill 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Burgess Hill?

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

How much is a visit in Burgess Hill?

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 Burgess Hill as elsewhere we cover.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Burgess Hill?

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 Burgess Hill visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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.
