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

Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.
If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.
Consider whether children, pets or bikes are often near the opening, and plan to test the safety edge or photocells every month.
Check where the override handle would be kept, because you'll need it to open the door by hand during a power cut.

Rules that apply in Kettering

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 Kettering: questions

Can I get a price for Kettering 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 Kettering?

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 Kettering. 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 Kettering?

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 Kettering garage so you can compare.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Kettering?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

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.

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.
