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

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.
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.
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.

How does it work in Doncaster?

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 Doncaster

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 Doncaster: questions

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

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 Doncaster garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in DN1?

At a survey in DN1 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.

Can I get a price for Doncaster 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.

Do you cover Doncaster?

Yes. Doncaster is part of the area we cover in South Yorkshire, including DN1, DN4 and DN2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
