What should I know about manual to electric roller door conversion in Slough?
- A safety edge on the bottom rail, and photocells where the risk assessment calls for them, stop or reverse the door on obstruction.
- The engineer releases the spring tension and converts or replaces the barrel so a tubular motor can drive it, with a control box on the wall.
- Where there's no socket near the box, a qualified electrician fits a fused spur from an existing circuit, priced as a separate line.
- Every converted door is force-tested to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity.

Rules that apply in Slough
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 Slough: questions
Do you cover Slough?
Yes. Slough is part of the area we cover in Berkshire, including SL1, SL2 and SL3. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I get a price for Slough without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Slough?
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 Slough. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Slough?
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.
Will I still be able to open the door by hand?
Not in the way you do now, because the motor holds the curtain in place. Most electric roller doors have a manual override, usually an internal crank or winding handle, for use in a power cut. A battery backup unit can also be added so the door runs for a limited number of cycles when the power is off.
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.
