What should I know about manual to electric roller door conversion in Royton?
- The free survey checks that the curtain, barrel, box and guide rails are sound and compatible before anything is quoted.
- A manual override lets you open the converted door in a power cut, and a battery backup unit can be added.
- The engineer releases the spring tension and converts or replaces the barrel so a tubular motor can drive it, with a control box on the wall.
- If your door isn't suitable for a motor, we tell you plainly and price a new electric door for comparison.

Rules that apply in Royton
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 Royton: questions
Do you cover Royton?
Yes. Royton is part of the area we cover in Greater Manchester, including OL2, OL1 and OL9. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
What do you check at a survey in OL2?
At a survey in OL2 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Royton?
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 Royton. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Can I get a price for Royton 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.
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.
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.
