- Every converted door is force-tested to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity.
- If your door isn't suitable for a motor, we tell you plainly and price a new electric door for comparison.

Manual to electric roller door conversion in Peterborough: questions
Do you charge more for Peterborough than other towns in Cambridgeshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Peterborough as for anywhere else we cover in Cambridgeshire. 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.
Can I get a price for Peterborough 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.
Is the survey in Peterborough 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 cover Peterborough?
Yes. Peterborough is part of the area we cover in Cambridgeshire, including PE1, PE2 and PE3. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
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.
