What should I know about electric roller garage doors in Whitley Bay?

Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.
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.
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.
Ask for the Declaration of Conformity and commissioning paperwork at handover, and store it with your other house documents.

Rules that apply in Whitley Bay

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 Whitley Bay: questions

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

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 Whitley Bay garage so you can compare.

Is the survey in Whitley Bay 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Whitley Bay?

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 Whitley Bay. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Can you remove my old garage door in Whitley Bay?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Whitley Bay 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.

Can my existing manual roller door be converted to electric?

Possibly. A manual-to-electric conversion is only practical when the existing curtain, barrel, box and guide rails are sound and compatible with a motor. We check this at a free survey. If the door isn't suitable, we'll say so and price a new electric door instead, so you're not paying to motorise a door that isn't up to it.

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.
