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

Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.
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.
If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.
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.

How does it work in Liverpool?

After you accept, the fitting date is confirmed in writing, depending on installer and electrician availability. On the day, the door is installed, force tested and handed over with its paperwork.

Rules that apply in Liverpool

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 Liverpool: questions

Do you charge more for Liverpool than other towns in Merseyside?

No. Guide prices are the same for Liverpool as for anywhere else we cover in Merseyside. 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.

Do you cover Liverpool?

Yes. Liverpool is part of the area we cover in Merseyside, including L3, L2 and L1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What do you check at a survey in L3?

At a survey in L3 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.

Is the survey in Liverpool really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

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.

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.
