- The engineer shows you how the manual override works on your new motor before handing the door back.
- Remotes and keypads are paired again after the motor is fitted, and each one is tested at the door.
- The open and closed limits are set after fitting, so the door stops fully open and fully closed.
- Safety edges and photocells are tested with the new motor, and the closing force is checked before handover.

Rules that apply in Frome
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 Frome: 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.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Frome?
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 Frome visit date is confirmed in writing.
Do you charge more for Frome than other towns in Somerset?
No. Guide prices are the same for Frome as for anywhere else we cover in Somerset. 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 Frome?
Yes. Frome is part of the area we cover in Somerset, including BA11. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
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.
