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

If the garage has no other way in, ask whether an external override or a battery backup unit would make sense for power cuts.
Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.
Consider whether children, pets or bikes are often near the opening, and plan to test the safety edge or photocells every month.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.

Rules that apply in Farnham

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 Farnham: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Farnham?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Farnham?

Our guide price for electric roller garage doors is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Farnham as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Farnham. 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 Farnham?

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 Farnham garage so you can compare.

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.

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.
