Rules that apply in Melksham
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 Melksham: questions
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Melksham?
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 Melksham garage so you can compare.
Do you charge more for Melksham than other towns in Wiltshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Melksham as for anywhere else we cover in Wiltshire. 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 the survey in Melksham 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Melksham?
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 Melksham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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.
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.
