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

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.
Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.
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.

Rules that apply in Catford

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 Catford: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Catford?

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

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

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 Catford garage so you can compare.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Catford?

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 Catford as elsewhere we cover.

What do you check at a survey in SE6?

At a survey in SE6 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.

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.
