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

Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.
Rolling-code handsets are matched to your door's receiver, paired during the visit and tested before we leave.
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.

How does it work in Gillingham?

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 Gillingham

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 Gillingham: questions

Do you cover Gillingham?

Yes. Gillingham is part of the area we cover in Kent, including ME7, ME4 and ME1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Gillingham?

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 Gillingham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you charge more for Gillingham than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Gillingham as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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.

Does a smart receiver work with any electric roller door?

Not always. Some control boxes accept a smart receiver directly, while older or less common systems need a replacement receiver first. It also needs a dependable Wi-Fi signal at the garage. Tell us what control box you have and we'll confirm what's compatible, and the price, before the visit is booked.

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.
