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

Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.
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.
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.

Rules that apply in Thetford

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 Thetford: questions

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

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 Thetford garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in IP24?

At a survey in IP24 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 Thetford 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.

Do you charge more for Thetford than other towns in Norfolk?

No. Guide prices are the same for Thetford as for anywhere else we cover in Norfolk. 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.

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.

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.
