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

If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.
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.
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.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.

Rules that apply in Orpington

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 Orpington: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Orpington?

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

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Orpington?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Orpington. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Orpington?

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 Orpington as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Orpington than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Orpington as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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 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.
