Rules that apply in Littlehampton

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 Littlehampton: questions

Do you charge more for Littlehampton than other towns in West Sussex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Littlehampton as for anywhere else we cover in West Sussex. 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 Littlehampton?

Yes. Littlehampton is part of the area we cover in West Sussex, including BN17, BN16 and BN18. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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

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

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 Littlehampton visit date is confirmed 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.

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.
