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

Smart receivers let you open and close the door from a phone app where the garage has dependable Wi-Fi.
Recoding clears the receiver's memory so a lost or stolen fob can no longer open your garage door.
A smart receiver is only fitted where the door has both a safety edge and photocells, re-tested at fitting.
A wireless keypad mounted beside the door lets you open the garage with a private code instead of a handset.

Rules that apply in Sittingbourne

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 Sittingbourne: questions

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Sittingbourne 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.

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

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 Sittingbourne. 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 Sittingbourne?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Sittingbourne and across ME10 and ME9, 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 cover Sittingbourne?

Yes. Sittingbourne is part of the area we cover in Kent, including ME10 and ME9. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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 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.
