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

Keep your remote fobs as well as the app, because they operate the door directly even when the internet is down.
Check the Wi-Fi signal on your phone at the top of the garage opening, since the receiver needs a reliable connection there.
Think about whether a Wi-Fi extender or mesh point may be needed if the garage is detached or behind thick walls.
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 Swanley

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 Swanley: questions

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Swanley?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

What do you check at a survey in BR8?

At a survey in BR8 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 cover Swanley?

Yes. Swanley is part of the area we cover in Kent, including BR8, BR5 and DA4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is the survey in Swanley 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.

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.
