What should I know about manual to electric roller door conversion in Fareham?
- 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.
- A manual override lets you open the converted door in a power cut, and a battery backup unit can be added.
- If your door isn't suitable for a motor, we tell you plainly and price a new electric door for comparison.
- Where there's no socket near the box, a qualified electrician fits a fused spur from an existing circuit, priced as a separate line.

Rules that apply in Fareham
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 Fareham: questions
What do you check at a survey in PO16?
At a survey in PO16 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.
Do you cover Fareham?
Yes. Fareham is part of the area we cover in Hampshire, including PO16, PO15 and PO14. 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 Fareham?
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 Fareham as elsewhere we cover.
Do you charge more for Fareham than other towns in Hampshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Fareham as for anywhere else we cover in Hampshire. 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.
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.
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.
