What should I know about smart roller garage doors in Colchester?

Consider battery backup alongside smart control, so the door still works for a limited number of cycles in a power cut.
Find out whether there is a socket or fused spur near the box, as a smart receiver needs an electric door with power.
Check the Wi-Fi signal on your phone at the top of the garage opening, since the receiver needs a reliable connection there.
Decide who in the household should have app access, and plan how you will remove access when someone no longer needs it.

Rules that apply in Colchester

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.

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.

Smart roller garage doors in Colchester: questions

Do you charge more for Colchester than other towns in Essex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Colchester as for anywhere else we cover in Essex. 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.

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

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

Can I get a price for Colchester 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.

Is the survey in Colchester really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Can I add smart control to my existing roller garage door?

If your door is already electric, a smart receiver can often be added on a visit, with the price agreed before we come out. The motor and control box need to be compatible, which we check first. If your door is manual, it would need converting to electric before smart control could be added, and that depends on its condition.

Can several people control the door from their phones?

Usually, yes, though how access is shared depends on the app and receiver your door uses. It's worth keeping a list of who has access, and removing anyone who no longer needs it, in the same way you'd keep track of keys and fobs. Ask about sharing at the survey if it matters to you.
