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

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.
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.

Rules that apply in Dalkeith

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

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 Dalkeith: questions

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

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 Dalkeith garage so you can compare.

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

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

What do you check at a survey in EH22?

At a survey in EH22 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.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Dalkeith?

Our guide price for electric roller garage doors is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Dalkeith as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
