Rules that apply in England
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.
Questions about manual to electric roller door conversion in Surrey
Which towns do you cover in Surrey?
We cover Surrey, including Woking, Guildford, Redhill and Staines-upon-Thames. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Surrey online.
How do I book a survey in Surrey?
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.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Surrey?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
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.
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.
