Rules that apply in Burgess Hill
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 Burgess Hill: questions
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Burgess Hill?
That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Burgess Hill garage so you can compare.
Do you charge more for Burgess Hill than other towns in West Sussex?
No. Guide prices are the same for Burgess Hill as for anywhere else we cover in West Sussex. 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Burgess Hill?
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 Burgess Hill. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you cover Burgess Hill?
Yes. Burgess Hill is part of the area we cover in West Sussex, including RH15 and BN6. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
What safety devices are added to a converted door?
A converted door gets a pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail and, where the risk assessment calls for them, photocells across the opening. These stop or reverse the door if it touches or detects an obstruction. After fitting, the closing force is tested to BS EN 12453, and you receive a Declaration of Conformity along with the rest of the handover paperwork.
