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

Check where the override handle would be kept, because you'll need it to open the door by hand during a power cut.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.
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.
If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.

How does it work in Lerwick?

After you accept, the fitting date is confirmed in writing, depending on installer and electrician availability. On the day, the door is installed, force tested and handed over with its paperwork.

Rules that apply in Lerwick

Electrics

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 Lerwick: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Lerwick?

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

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

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 Lerwick garage so you can compare.

Do you charge more for Lerwick?

Possibly. The door and visit guide prices are the same as elsewhere, but travel to Lerwick is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises on the day.

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

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.

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.
