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

Find out whether there is a socket or fused spur near the top of the opening, since the motor's control box needs a power supply close by.
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.
Consider whether children, pets or bikes are often near the opening, and plan to test the safety edge or photocells every month.
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.

Rules that apply in Paignton

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 Paignton: questions

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

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 Paignton garage so you can compare.

Can you remove my old garage door in Paignton?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Paignton address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

What do you check at a survey in TQ3?

At a survey in TQ3 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.

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

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.

Can my existing manual roller door be converted to electric?

Possibly. A manual-to-electric conversion is only practical when the existing curtain, barrel, box and guide rails are sound and compatible with a motor. We check this at a free survey. If the door isn't suitable, we'll say so and price a new electric door instead, so you're not paying to motorise a door that isn't up to it.

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.
