Rules that apply in Jarrow

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.

Manual to electric roller door conversion in Jarrow: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Jarrow?
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 Jarrow. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Can I get a price for Jarrow 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.
Do you charge more for Jarrow than other towns in Tyne and Wear?
No. Guide prices are the same for Jarrow as for anywhere else we cover in Tyne and Wear. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.
How much does manual to electric roller door conversion cost in Jarrow?
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 Jarrow as elsewhere we cover.
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.
