What should I know about electric roller garage doors in Chalk Farm?

If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.
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.
Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.

Rules that apply in Chalk Farm

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 Chalk Farm: questions

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

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 Chalk Farm garage so you can compare.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Chalk Farm?

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 Chalk Farm as elsewhere we cover.

What do you check at a survey in NW3?

At a survey in NW3 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.

Do you cover Chalk Farm?

Yes. Chalk Farm is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including NW3, NW5 and NW1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
