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

Check where the override handle would be kept, because you'll need it to open the door by hand during a power cut.
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.
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 Blackburn

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 Blackburn: questions

What do you check at a survey in BB1?

At a survey in BB1 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.

Do you charge more for Blackburn than other towns in Lancashire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Blackburn as for anywhere else we cover in Lancashire. 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.

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

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 Blackburn. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

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

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 Blackburn garage so you can compare.

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.
