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 Westminster: questions
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.
Do you cover Westminster?
Yes. Westminster is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SW1P, SW1E and SW1H. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
How much is a visit in Westminster?
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 Westminster as elsewhere we cover.
Does a new motor change how the manual override works?
It can. Different motors use different override arrangements, such as an internal crank or a winding handle. The engineer shows you how the override on your new motor works before leaving, and you should keep the handle somewhere you can find it in the dark. Our power-cut guide explains how overrides work in general.
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.
