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

Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.
If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.
Consider whether children, pets or bikes are often near the opening, and plan to test the safety edge or photocells every month.
Check where the override handle would be kept, because you'll need it to open the door by hand during a power cut.

How does it work in Canterbury?

Rules that apply in Canterbury

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 Canterbury: questions

What do you check at a survey in CT1?

At a survey in CT1 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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Canterbury?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Canterbury 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 get a price for Canterbury without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Do you charge more for Canterbury than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Canterbury as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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.

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.

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.
