Rules that apply in Edinburgh
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. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.
Roller garage door motor replacement in Edinburgh: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Edinburgh?
If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Edinburgh visit date is confirmed in writing.
How much is a visit in Edinburgh?
Prices for roller garage door motor replacement start from £395 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 Edinburgh as elsewhere we cover.
Do you cover Edinburgh?
Yes. Edinburgh is part of the area we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians, including EH2, EH3 and EH1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Should I replace the motor or the whole door?
Replace the motor when the rest of the door is sound: the curtain runs straight, the laths are undamaged, and the guides and barrel are in good order. If several major parts are worn, or the door has other recurring faults, a new door may be better value. The engineer will tell you plainly what they find.
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.
