What should I know about smart roller garage doors in Southend-on-Sea?

Keep your remote fobs as well as the app, because they operate the door directly even when the internet is down.
Only close the door from the app when you know the opening is clear, and keep testing the safety devices monthly.
Check the Wi-Fi signal on your phone at the top of the garage opening, since the receiver needs a reliable connection there.
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 Southend-on-Sea

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 Southend-on-Sea: questions

How much do smart roller garage doors cost in Southend-on-Sea?

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 Southend-on-Sea as elsewhere we cover.

Is the survey in Southend-on-Sea 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.

What do you check at a survey in SS1?

At a survey in SS1 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.

Do you charge more for Southend-on-Sea than other towns in Essex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Southend-on-Sea 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.

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.

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.
