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

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.
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.
If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.

Rules that apply in Lancaster

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 Lancaster: questions

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

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 Lancaster garage so you can compare.

Can I get a price for Lancaster 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.

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

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

Can you remove my old garage door in Lancaster?

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

Is an electric roller door safe around children and pets?

Treat it like any powered machine. Keep remote fobs out of children's reach, don't let anyone walk or play under the door while it's moving, and only operate it when you can see the opening is clear. The safety devices are a backstop, not a substitute for watching the door, so test them monthly.
