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

Check where the override handle would be kept, because you'll need it to open the door by hand during a power cut.
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.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.

Rules that apply in Hitchin

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 Hitchin: questions

Do you charge more for Hitchin than other towns in Hertfordshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Hitchin as for anywhere else we cover in Hertfordshire. 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.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Hitchin?

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 Hitchin as elsewhere we cover.

What do you check at a survey in SG5?

At a survey in SG5 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.

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

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 Hitchin garage so you can compare.

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.

Can I open an electric roller door during a power cut?

Yes. Most electric roller doors have a manual override, normally an internal crank or winding handle that turns the barrel by hand. If the garage has no other entrance, ask about an external override. A battery backup unit is another option: it keeps the door running for a limited number of cycles while the power is off.
