Rules that apply in Formby
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 Formby: questions
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Formby?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Formby and across L37 and L38, 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 should I do while I wait for a visit in Formby?
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 Formby visit date is confirmed in writing.
Can I get a price for Formby 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.
How much is a visit in Formby?
Prices for roller garage door servicing start from £89 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 Formby as elsewhere we cover.
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.
