What should I know about electric roller garage doors in Sandhurst?

Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.
Check where the override handle would be kept, because you'll need it to open the door by hand during a power cut.
Make sure there's a clear spot on the wall inside the garage for the control box, away from shelving or anything stacked in the way.

How does it work in Sandhurst?

After you accept, the fitting date is confirmed in writing, depending on installer and electrician availability. On the day, the door is installed, force tested and handed over with its paperwork.

Rules that apply in Sandhurst

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.

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.

Electric roller garage doors in Sandhurst: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Sandhurst?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Sandhurst?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Sandhurst garage so you can compare.

Is the survey in Sandhurst really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Sandhurst?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Is an electric roller door safe around children and pets?

Treat it like any powered machine. Keep remote fobs out of children's reach, don't let anyone walk or play under the door while it's moving, and only operate it when you can see the opening is clear. The safety devices are a backstop, not a substitute for watching the door, so test them monthly.

Why does my electric door start closing and then go back up?

That usually means a safety device thinks something is in the way. Check nothing is in the opening, wipe the photocell lenses and look for damage to the rubber safety edge on the bottom rail. If it keeps happening, stop using the door and ask for a repair visit, which is priced and agreed before anyone comes out.
