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

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.
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.
Consider whether children, pets or bikes are often near the opening, and plan to test the safety edge or photocells every month.

Rules that apply in Washington

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 Washington: questions

What do you check at a survey in NE38?

At a survey in NE38 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.

Do you charge more for Washington than other towns in Tyne and Wear?

No. Guide prices are the same for Washington as for anywhere else we cover in Tyne and Wear. 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 Washington?

Yes. Washington is part of the area we cover in Tyne and Wear, including NE38, NE37 and DH3. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can you remove my old garage door in Washington?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Washington address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

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 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.
