Rules that apply in Aberystwyth
Electrics
An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in Wales 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 Aberystwyth: questions
How do surveys work in Aberystwyth?
Surveys in Aberystwyth are arranged individually because of travel. Any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the survey is booked, so you know the full cost before anyone comes out, and there is no obligation to go ahead with the quote.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Aberystwyth?
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 Aberystwyth. 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 Aberystwyth?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales, 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.
Can I get a price for Aberystwyth 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 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.
