Rules that apply in Maidenhead
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.
Manual to electric roller door conversion in Maidenhead: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Maidenhead?
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 Maidenhead. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you cover Maidenhead?
Yes. Maidenhead is part of the area we cover in Berkshire, including SL6. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
What do you check at a survey in SL6?
At a survey in SL6 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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Maidenhead?
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 Maidenhead garage so you can compare.
Do I need an electrician for a conversion?
An electric door needs a power supply near the box, usually a fused spur or a socket. If you already have one in a suitable place, it can normally be used. If not, a qualified electrician fits a new fused spur, priced separately in your quote. In England and Wales some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P.
How do I know if my manual roller door can be motorised?
The only reliable way is a survey. We check that the curtain runs smoothly, the laths are undamaged, and the barrel, box and guide rails are sound and compatible with a tubular motor. If they are, we quote for the conversion; if not, we explain why and price a new electric door so you can compare the two.
