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.

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 Bootle: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Bootle?
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 Bootle. 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 Bootle?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Bootle and across L20, L21 and L22, 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.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Bootle?
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 Bootle visit date is confirmed in writing.
Do you cover Bootle?
Yes. Bootle is part of the area we cover in Merseyside, including L20, L21 and L22. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
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.
