Rules that apply in Folkestone
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 Folkestone: questions
How much is a visit in Folkestone?
Prices for roller garage door repairs start from £119 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 Folkestone as elsewhere we cover.
Do you charge more for Folkestone than other towns in Kent?
No. Guide prices are the same for Folkestone as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Folkestone?
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 Folkestone visit date is confirmed in writing.
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.
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.
Is there a charge if the door can't be repaired?
The visit price is agreed before we come out and covers diagnosis and the first 30 minutes, so it applies whatever the outcome. If the engineer finds the door isn't worth repairing, they'll explain why, and we can price a new door for you to compare. Nothing else is charged without your agreement.
