Garage Door Installation

1. We will need clear access to allow us to install your new door – please ensure cars are moved from in front of and inside the garage. During the fitting of a new door, a clear working area is required extending approximately 3.0 metres into the garage.
2. To automate your garage door you must either have a power source within 600mm of where the control unit is positioned or be able to bring power to the control unit safely. Access Garage Doors specialist installers are not electricians and therefore cannot perform electrical work that needs to be undertaken by a trained electrical professional.
3. When we are replacing an existing frame which has been sealed to the brickwork with mastic. We will endeavour to remove the old mastic as best as possible, however sometimes it is impossible to completely remove or indeed fully cover with new silicone sealant. If making good is required to the inside of a new frame, this is generally left for the homeowner to deal with. We will ‘dress’ out of square openings as best as possible.
4. As part of our service we’ll remove your old door, frame and fittings from site, saving you the inconvenience and expense of disposing of them. Just let us know if you want to keep your old door and we’ll leave it safely stacked. We’ll also remove from your property all packaging from the new door.
5. All electrically operated garage doors must, by law, be CE marked to signify the installation complies with the legal requirements covered by the Machinery Directive, the Construction Products Directive, the Low Voltage Directive and the Electro-Magnetic Compatibility Directive. As part of the CE marking process the installer will demonstrate the safe use of the product to you.
6. Hand over as a legal requirement for electrically operated garage doors and also part of our service for manually operated doors, we’ll take you through a full demonstration of the product to ensure you are completely satisfied with your new door before asking you to sign off on a job well done!

1. We will require clear access to allow us to install your new door – please ensure that any nearby free standing furniture and or items hanging from a wall are relocated elsewhere whilst the installation takes place to avoid damage.
Where alarm contacts are fitted to the existing door they should be removed prior to the installation and refitted afterwards by your alarm company.
2. Installation with a Frame.
a) If telephone cables are tacked to the frame these will require removal by others prior to the installation.
b) Carpet/Laminate flooring may require cutting/trimming by us.
c) If the existing frame has been sealed to brickwork with mastic. We will endeavour to remove the old mastic as best as possible, however sometimes it is impossible to completely remove or indeed fully cover with new silicone sealant.
d) Unless otherwise stated UPVC trim will be used internally/externally to conceal gaps if too large for silicone sealant to be effective.
e) Making good by others.
