Rules that apply in Farnham

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.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Farnham: questions

Do you charge more for Farnham than other towns in Surrey?

No. Guide prices are the same for Farnham as for anywhere else we cover in Surrey. 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 cover Farnham?

Yes. Farnham is part of the area we cover in Surrey, including GU9, GU10 and GU11. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Farnham?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Farnham and across GU9, GU10 and GU11, 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Farnham?

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 Farnham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Can I bypass the photocells to get the door shut?

No. Bypassing, bridging or taping over a safety device removes the protection that stops the door closing onto a person, pet or car. If the door won't close, switch it off at the isolator, keep the area clear and request a visit. Tell us if you're concerned about security when you get in touch.

Can photocells be added to a door that doesn't have them?

Often, if the control box has a connection for them. Some older systems need extra wiring or a replacement control box first. Tell us what's on the control box label and we'll confirm whether photocells can be added, and the price, before booking. Our battery backup and safety upgrades page covers adding devices.
