Manual to electric roller door conversion in Arbroath: questions
Is the survey in Arbroath 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 Arbroath?
Yes. Arbroath is part of the area we cover in Dundee and Angus, including DD11. 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 Arbroath 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 Arbroath?
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 Arbroath. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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.
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.
