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

Check the Wi-Fi signal on your phone at the top of the garage opening, since the receiver needs a reliable connection there.
Consider battery backup alongside smart control, so the door still works for a limited number of cycles in a power cut.
Keep your remote fobs as well as the app, because they operate the door directly even when the internet is down.
Find out whether there is a socket or fused spur near the box, as a smart receiver needs an electric door with power.

Rules that apply in Grays

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 Grays: questions

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Grays 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.

What do you check at a survey in RM17?

At a survey in RM17 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.

Can you remove my old garage door in Grays?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Grays address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

How much do smart roller garage doors cost in Grays?

Our guide price for smart roller garage doors is from £1,290 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Grays as elsewhere we cover.

Does a smart garage door work with voice assistants?

Some smart receivers can link to voice assistants or home automation systems, but it varies from one receiver to another. If that matters to you, tell us at the survey and we'll confirm what the receiver for your door supports before you order. Think carefully before allowing voice commands to open the door, for security.

Do I still get remote fobs with a smart door?

Yes. A smart door comes with rolling-code remote fobs as well as app control, so you have a way to operate it without your phone. Extra handsets can be added to your order, and a wireless keypad is useful for anyone without a fob or a phone to hand. Keep the manual override handle somewhere easy to find, too.
