Rules that apply in Darlington
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 repairs in Darlington: questions
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Darlington?
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 Darlington visit date is confirmed in writing.
Can I get a price for Darlington 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 repair roller doors you did not fit in Darlington?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Darlington and across DL3, DL1 and DL2, 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 cover Darlington?
Yes. Darlington is part of the area we cover in County Durham, including DL3, DL1 and DL2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I keep using my roller door while it's faulty?
If the door is reversing unexpectedly, running unevenly, making grinding noises or has come out of its guides, stop using it until it has been checked. A door with a faulty safety device may not stop when it should. Switch an electric door off at the isolator, keep people, pets and cars clear of a part-open door, and don't force the curtain.
Do you repair sectional or up-and-over garage doors?
No. We work on roller garage doors only, so we don't repair sectional or up-and-over doors. If you have an up-and-over door that's failing and you'd like to change it, we can replace it with a roller door; that work starts with a survey and a written quote rather than a repair visit.
