What should I know about manual to electric roller door conversion in Peebles?
- A safety edge on the bottom rail, and photocells where the risk assessment calls for them, stop or reverse the door on obstruction.
- 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.
- If your door isn't suitable for a motor, we tell you plainly and price a new electric door for comparison.

Manual to electric roller door conversion in Peebles: questions
What do you check at a survey in EH45?
At a survey in EH45 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Peebles?
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 Peebles. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
How much does manual to electric roller door conversion cost in Peebles?
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 Peebles as elsewhere we cover.
Is the survey in Peebles 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.
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.
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.
