Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.

Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.

Rules that apply in Whitehaven

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.

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.

Remote control and keypad upgrades in Whitehaven: questions

Do you charge more for Whitehaven than other towns in Cumbria?

No. Guide prices are the same for Whitehaven as for anywhere else we cover in Cumbria. 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 is a visit in Whitehaven?

Prices for remote control and keypad upgrades start from £108 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Whitehaven as elsewhere we cover.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Whitehaven?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Whitehaven visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Whitehaven?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Whitehaven and across CA28 and CA24, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.

Will recoding stop a lost fob from working?

Yes. Recoding clears the receiver's memory of paired handsets and then adds back only the ones you still have, plus any new ones. The lost or stolen fob is no longer recognised, so it can't open the door. It's sensible to do this after moving house as well, when you can't be sure how many handsets exist.

Can you add a remote to a manual roller door?

Not on its own. A manual door has no motor or receiver for a remote to talk to, because springs in the barrel balance the curtain and you lift it by hand. To operate it by remote, the door first needs a manual-to-electric conversion, which is only possible when the curtain, barrel, box and guides are sound and compatible.
