- Safety edges and photocells are tested with the new motor, and the closing force is checked before handover.
- The open and closed limits are set after fitting, so the door stops fully open and fully closed.

Rules that apply in Hythe
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 Hythe: questions
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 Hythe 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.
Do you cover Hythe?
Yes. Hythe is part of the area we cover in Hampshire, including SO45. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Hythe?
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 Hythe. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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.
Why does my roller door motor hum but not move?
A humming motor that doesn't turn the barrel can mean the motor has failed, but it can also point to an obstruction, a curtain jammed in the guides or a fault in the control box. Stop pressing the button, keep clear of the door and don't force the curtain. A repair visit diagnoses the cause before any parts are quoted.
