Rules that apply in Prescot
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 Prescot: questions
How much is a visit in Prescot?
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 Prescot as elsewhere we cover.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Prescot?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Prescot and across L34, L35 and L36, 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 Prescot than other towns in Merseyside?
No. Guide prices are the same for Prescot as for anywhere else we cover in Merseyside. 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.
Can I get a price for Prescot 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.
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.
