What should I know about remote control and keypad upgrades in Canvey Island?

Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.
Handsets and keypads are priced individually, so your confirmation shows the visit and each item you have chosen.
Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.

Rules that apply in Canvey Island

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 Canvey Island: questions

Can I get a price for Canvey Island 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 cover Canvey Island?

Yes. Canvey Island is part of the area we cover in Essex, including SS8 and SS7. 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 Canvey Island than other towns in Essex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Canvey Island as for anywhere else we cover in Essex. 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.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Canvey Island?

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 Canvey Island visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

Where is a wireless keypad fitted?

A wireless keypad is usually mounted on the wall outside, close to the garage door and at a comfortable height, so you can open the door without a handset. It communicates with the receiver without a cable to the control box. You choose the code, and you can change it later if you need to.
