Rules that apply in Wickford
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.

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 Wickford: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Wickford?
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 Wickford. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you cover Wickford?
Yes. Wickford is part of the area we cover in Essex, including SS12, SS11 and SS13. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
How much does manual to electric roller door conversion cost in Wickford?
Our guide price for manual to electric roller door conversion is from £495 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Wickford as elsewhere we cover.
Do you charge more for Wickford than other towns in Essex?
No. Guide prices are the same for Wickford as for anywhere else we cover in Essex. 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.
Will I still be able to open the door by hand?
Not in the way you do now, because the motor holds the curtain in place. Most electric roller doors have a manual override, usually an internal crank or winding handle, for use in a power cut. A battery backup unit can also be added so the door runs for a limited number of cycles when the power is off.
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.
