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

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.
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 Rickmansworth

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 Rickmansworth: questions

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

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 you remove my old garage door in Rickmansworth?

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

What do you check at a survey in WD3?

At a survey in WD3 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.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Rickmansworth?

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 Rickmansworth as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
