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.

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 Uppingham: questions
Is the survey in Uppingham really free?
Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Uppingham?
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 Uppingham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you cover Uppingham?
Yes. Uppingham is part of the area we cover in Rutland, including LE15. 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 LE15?
At a survey in LE15 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.
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.
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.
