Rules that apply in Hebburn

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.

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 Hebburn: questions

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

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

Do you charge more for Hebburn than other towns in Tyne and Wear?

No. Guide prices are the same for Hebburn as for anywhere else we cover in Tyne and Wear. 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 Hebburn?

Yes. Hebburn is part of the area we cover in Tyne and Wear, including NE31, NE32 and NE28. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Hebburn?

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 Hebburn visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

Do you repair safety devices on any make of roller door?

Yes. We repair and replace safety edges and photocells on electric roller garage doors of any make, provided compatible parts are available for the control box. We don't work on sectional or up-and-over doors. If a compatible part isn't available, we'll explain the options before anything is booked.
