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

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.
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.

How does it work in Solihull?

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 Solihull

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 Solihull: questions

Is the survey in Solihull 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.

Do you charge more for Solihull than other towns in the West Midlands?

No. Guide prices are the same for Solihull as for anywhere else we cover in the West Midlands. 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.

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

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 Solihull garage so you can compare.

Can you remove my old garage door in Solihull?

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

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.
