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

Find out whether there is a socket or fused spur near the top of the opening, since the motor's control box needs a power supply close by.
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.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.
Consider whether children, pets or bikes are often near the opening, and plan to test the safety edge or photocells every month.

Rules that apply in Margate

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 Margate: questions

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

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 Margate garage so you can compare.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Margate?

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 Margate as elsewhere we cover.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Margate 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.

What do you check at a survey in CT9?

At a survey in CT9 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 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.
