Rules that apply in Melton Mowbray

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 Melton Mowbray: questions
Do you cover Melton Mowbray?
Yes. Melton Mowbray is part of the area we cover in Leicestershire, including LE13 and LE14. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I get a price for Melton Mowbray 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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Melton Mowbray?
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 Melton Mowbray garage so you can compare.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Melton Mowbray?
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 Melton Mowbray. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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.
Do I need an electrician for a conversion?
An electric door needs a power supply near the box, usually a fused spur or a socket. If you already have one in a suitable place, it can normally be used. If not, a qualified electrician fits a new fused spur, priced separately in your quote. In England and Wales some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P.
