Rules that apply in Saltash
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 Saltash: questions
What do you check at a survey in PL12?
At a survey in PL12 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.
Do you cover Saltash?
Yes. Saltash is part of the area we cover in Cornwall, including PL12, PL5 and PL11. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Saltash?
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 Saltash garage so you can compare.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Saltash?
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 Saltash. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Is converting better value than buying a new electric door?
Compare the conversion price with the new-door prices on our prices page. A conversion keeps your existing curtain, barrel, box and guides, so it only makes sense when those parts are in good condition. If the door is worn, or you'd like insulated laths, a new electric door may be better value overall, and your quote can show both.
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.
