What should I know about manual to electric roller door conversion in Sevenoaks?
- 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.
- Where there's no socket near the box, a qualified electrician fits a fused spur from an existing circuit, priced as a separate line.
- Wall keypads, key switches and smart app control can be added to a conversion as separate, priced options.
- The free survey checks that the curtain, barrel, box and guide rails are sound and compatible before anything is quoted.

Rules that apply in Sevenoaks
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 Sevenoaks: questions
Do you cover Sevenoaks?
Yes. Sevenoaks is part of the area we cover in Kent, including TN13 and TN14. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Sevenoaks?
That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Sevenoaks garage so you can compare.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Sevenoaks?
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 Sevenoaks. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
What do you check at a survey in TN13?
At a survey in TN13 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.
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.
