Rules that apply in Atherton
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.
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.
Stuck roller garage door repair in Atherton: questions
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Atherton?
If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Atherton visit date is confirmed in writing.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Atherton?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Atherton and across M46, M29 and M38, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.
Will you fix the door on the first visit?
A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.
Can I get a price for Atherton 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.
Why will my roller door open but not close?
A door that opens but won't close often points to the safety devices. Dirty, blocked or misaligned photocells, or a damaged safety edge, tell the door something is in the way. Wipe the photocell lenses and check the beam is clear. If it still won't close, request a visit, and never bypass the safety devices.
Can I open a stuck electric roller door by hand?
If the door is stuck because the power is off, you can use the manual override, such as an internal crank or winding handle, exactly as the manufacturer's instructions describe. Don't try to lift or pull the curtain by hand on an electric door, because the motor holds it in place and forcing it can cause damage.
