Rules that apply in Derby
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.
Roller garage door motor replacement in Derby: questions
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Derby?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Derby and across DE1, DE22 and DE23, 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 Derby than other towns in Derbyshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Derby as for anywhere else we cover in Derbyshire. 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.
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 get a price for Derby 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.
Will my old remotes work with the new motor?
Sometimes. If your existing control box and receiver stay in place and are compatible, your handsets can be paired again. If the receiver has to change, new rolling-code handsets may be needed. We check this before the visit and include any handsets in the price we confirm, so the cost is clear before the day.
Can you replace the motor on any make of roller door?
We replace tubular motors on electric roller garage doors of any make, provided a compatible motor is available for the barrel size and curtain weight. Send us details of the control box and the door size and we'll confirm before booking. If a matching motor isn't available, we'll explain the options, including a new control box or a new door.
