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

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.
If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.
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.
Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.

Rules that apply in Strood

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 Strood: questions

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Strood?

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 Strood as elsewhere we cover.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Strood?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Strood. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Can you remove my old garage door in Strood?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Strood 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 ME2?

At a survey in ME2 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 my existing manual roller door be converted to electric?

Possibly. A manual-to-electric conversion is only practical when the existing curtain, barrel, box and guide rails are sound and compatible with a motor. We check this at a free survey. If the door isn't suitable, we'll say so and price a new electric door instead, so you're not paying to motorise a door that isn't up to it.
