What should I know about remote control and keypad upgrades in Westminster?
- A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
- Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.
- Recoding after moving house means only the handsets you hold can open the door, whatever the previous owners kept.
- Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
How does it work in Westminster?
We confirm the visit price and the cost of the handsets, keypad or receiver you've chosen. The visit is then booked, with the date confirmed in writing once an engineer is available.

Rules that apply in Westminster
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 Westminster: questions
How much is a visit in Westminster?
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 Westminster as elsewhere we cover.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Westminster?
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 Westminster. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Westminster?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Westminster and across SW1P, SW1E and SW1H, 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 Westminster than other towns in Greater London?
No. Guide prices are the same for Westminster 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.
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.
