Rules that apply in Stockton-on-Tees
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 Stockton-on-Tees: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Stockton-on-Tees?
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 Stockton-on-Tees. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Stockton-on-Tees?
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 Stockton-on-Tees garage so you can compare.
What do you check at a survey in TS19?
At a survey in TS19 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 the survey in Stockton-on-Tees 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.
What safety devices are added to a converted door?
A converted door gets a pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail and, where the risk assessment calls for them, photocells across the opening. These stop or reverse the door if it touches or detects an obstruction. After fitting, the closing force is tested to BS EN 12453, and you receive a Declaration of Conformity along with the rest of the handover paperwork.
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.
