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.

Questions about manual to electric roller door conversion in the Highlands, Moray and Islands

How do I book a survey in the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

Start with the guide price tool or the form on this page. We then contact you to arrange a free survey for a new door, replacement or conversion, and confirm the date in writing. Travel to Fort William, Stornoway, Kirkwall, Thurso, Wick, Lerwick and Portree is priced individually and confirmed in writing before booking.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Are guide prices the same across the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

Yes for the door and visit prices. Travel to Fort William, Stornoway, Kirkwall, Thurso, Wick, Lerwick and Portree is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything.

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.

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.
