Rules that apply in Dorchester
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 Dorchester: 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.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Dorchester?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Dorchester and across DT1 and DT2, 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 Dorchester?
Yes. Dorchester is part of the area we cover in Dorset, including DT1 and DT2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Do you charge more for Dorchester than other towns in Dorset?
No. Guide prices are the same for Dorchester as for anywhere else we cover in Dorset. 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 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.
Do you repair roller doors you didn't fit?
Yes. We repair electric and manual roller garage doors of any make, whoever fitted them. Tell us what the door is doing and the make of the motor or control box if you know it. That helps us confirm the visit price and, where the likely parts are clear from your description, plan for them before the visit.
