Rules that apply in Twickenham
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 Twickenham: questions
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Twickenham?
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.
Is the survey in Twickenham 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Twickenham?
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 Twickenham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you charge more for Twickenham than other towns in Greater London?
No. Guide prices are the same for Twickenham as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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.
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.
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.
