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

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.
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.
Consider whether children, pets or bikes are often near the opening, and plan to test the safety edge or photocells every month.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.

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 Kirkwall: questions

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

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 Kirkwall garage so you can compare.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Kirkwall?

Our guide price for electric roller garage doors is from £1,195 inc VAT. The door price depends on the opening size, the specification and any extras. Travel to Kirkwall is priced individually and shown in your written quote before you agree to anything.

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

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

How do surveys work in Kirkwall?

Surveys in Kirkwall are arranged individually because of travel. Any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the survey is booked, so you know the full cost before anyone comes out, and there is no obligation to go ahead with the quote.

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.

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.
