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

If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.
Consider whether children, pets or bikes are often near the opening, and plan to test the safety edge or photocells every month.
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.
Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.

Rules that apply in Stroud

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 Stroud: questions

Do you cover Stroud?

Yes. Stroud is part of the area we cover in Gloucestershire, including GL5 and GL6. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is the survey in Stroud really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

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

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 Stroud garage so you can compare.

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

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 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.
