Rules that apply in Durham
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 servicing in Durham: questions
Do you cover Durham?
Yes. Durham is part of the area we cover in County Durham, including DH1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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 message you a photo of my garage in Durham?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Durham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Durham?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Durham and across DH1, 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.
What's the difference between a service and a repair visit?
A service is a planned check of a working door: cleaning, adjusting and testing to catch problems early. A repair visit is for a door with a fault, and covers diagnosis and the first 30 minutes of work. If your door has a specific problem, tell us and we'll suggest which visit suits it before booking.
Should I oil my roller garage door?
Not unless the manufacturer's instructions say so. Many roller doors use a dry or silicone lubricant, if any at all, and the guide rails are usually best kept clean and dry. During a service, the engineer uses only the product type the manufacturer specifies for your door.
