Rules that apply in Pimlico
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 Pimlico: questions
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Pimlico?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, 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.
Do you cover Pimlico?
Yes. Pimlico is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SW1V, SW1P and SW1W. 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 Pimlico?
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 Pimlico as elsewhere we cover.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Pimlico?
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 Pimlico. 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.
