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

Keep your remote fobs as well as the app, because they operate the door directly even when the internet is down.
Think about whether a Wi-Fi extender or mesh point may be needed if the garage is detached or behind thick walls.
Only close the door from the app when you know the opening is clear, and keep testing the safety devices monthly.
Ask which features the smart receiver offers, such as showing whether the door is open, before you order it.

How does it work in Portishead?

When you accept the quote, the fitting date is confirmed in writing, depending on installer availability. On the day, the door is commissioned and the app is set up with you.

Rules that apply in Portishead

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 Portishead: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Portishead?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Is the survey in Portishead 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 BS20?

At a survey in BS20 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 Portishead?

Yes. Portishead is part of the area we cover in Somerset, including BS20. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What happens to a smart garage door if the Wi-Fi goes down?

The app may stop responding until the Wi-Fi or internet connection comes back, but the door itself keeps working. Your remote fobs talk to the door directly, and any keypad or key switch works as normal. The door doesn't rely on the internet to open and close, only to take instructions from the app.

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.
