What should I know about manual to electric roller door conversion in Rugby?
- The free survey checks that the curtain, barrel, box and guide rails are sound and compatible before anything is quoted.
- 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.
- A safety edge on the bottom rail, and photocells where the risk assessment calls for them, stop or reverse the door on obstruction.
- Where there's no socket near the box, a qualified electrician fits a fused spur from an existing circuit, priced as a separate line.

Rules that apply in Rugby
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.
Manual to electric roller door conversion in Rugby: questions
What do you check at a survey in CV21?
At a survey in CV21 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 Rugby?
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 Rugby. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you cover Rugby?
Yes. Rugby is part of the area we cover in Warwickshire, including CV21, CV22 and CV23. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Do you charge more for Rugby than other towns in Warwickshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Rugby as for anywhere else we cover in Warwickshire. 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.
Is converting better value than buying a new electric door?
Compare the conversion price with the new-door prices on our prices page. A conversion keeps your existing curtain, barrel, box and guides, so it only makes sense when those parts are in good condition. If the door is worn, or you'd like insulated laths, a new electric door may be better value overall, and your quote can show both.
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.
