What should I know about remote control and keypad upgrades in Chalk Farm?

Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
Older receivers that no longer accept current handsets can be replaced, with the fitted price confirmed before booking.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.

Rules that apply in Chalk Farm

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 Chalk Farm: questions

How much is a visit in Chalk Farm?

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 Chalk Farm as elsewhere we cover.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Chalk Farm?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Chalk Farm and across NW3, NW5 and NW1, 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.

Do you charge more for Chalk Farm than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Chalk Farm as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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 buy a remote online and code it myself?

Sometimes, but only if the handset is compatible with your receiver, and many aren't. Rolling-code systems need the right handset type and the correct pairing steps from the motor maker. If you'd rather not risk buying the wrong one, tell us the make of your control box and we'll supply matched handsets and pair them during the visit.

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.
