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

Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.
Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.
Work out how many remote fobs the drivers in your household need, so the right number of extra handsets can be listed in the quote.
Check where the override handle would be kept, because you'll need it to open the door by hand during a power cut.

Rules that apply in Thatcham

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 Thatcham: questions

Can I get a price for Thatcham 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.

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

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.

What do you check at a survey in RG19?

At a survey in RG19 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Thatcham?

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

Can I open an electric roller door during a power cut?

Yes. Most electric roller doors have a manual override, normally an internal crank or winding handle that turns the barrel by hand. If the garage has no other entrance, ask about an external override. A battery backup unit is another option: it keeps the door running for a limited number of cycles while the power is off.

Can I add more remotes or a keypad later?

Yes. When you order a new door, you can add extra handsets and a wireless keypad at the prices in your quote. On an existing door, adding or recoding remotes, or changing the receiver, is done on a visit whose price is agreed before we come out. Keep a note of how many handsets you have, so any lost ones can be dealt with.
