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

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.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.
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.
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 Eastbourne

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 Eastbourne: questions

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

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.

Do you cover Eastbourne?

Yes. Eastbourne is part of the area we cover in East Sussex, including BN21, BN20 and BN22. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Eastbourne than other towns in East Sussex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Eastbourne as for anywhere else we cover in East Sussex. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Can you remove my old garage door in Eastbourne?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Eastbourne 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.

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.

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.
