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

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.
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.
Consider whether children, pets or bikes are often near the opening, and plan to test the safety edge or photocells every month.
If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Questions about electric roller garage doors in Dorset

How do I book a survey in Dorset?

Start with the guide price tool or the form on this page. We then contact you to arrange a free survey for a new door, replacement or conversion, and confirm the date in writing.

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Which towns do you cover in Dorset?

We cover Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth and Christchurch. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Dorset online.

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.

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.
