What should I know about aluminium roller garage doors in Bodmin?
- Check whether the garage floor is level across the opening, as the bottom rail of the curtain needs to sit evenly when the door closes.
- Decide whether the garage is just for parking and storage, where single-skin laths may be enough, or used as a room, where insulated laths make more sense.
- Measure the space between the top of the opening and the ceiling, because the coiled curtain needs a box that is commonly around 205 to 300 mm deep or more.
- Look at the lintel above the opening for cracks or sagging, because any repair or replacement is structural work that is priced separately on survey.

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.
Planning
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.
Aluminium roller garage doors in Bodmin: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Bodmin?
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.
Is the survey in Bodmin 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.
Do you charge more for Bodmin than other towns in Cornwall?
No. Guide prices are the same for Bodmin as for anywhere else we cover in Cornwall. 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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Bodmin?
That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Bodmin garage so you can compare.
How much room does an aluminium roller door take up inside the garage?
Very little. The curtain coils onto a barrel in a box at the top of the opening, so there are no ceiling tracks and nothing hangs across the roof space. You lose some height at the top for the box and a narrow strip at each side for the guide rails, both of which we measure at survey.
Can an aluminium roller door replace an up-and-over door?
Yes. We remove the old up-and-over door and its frame, or keep the frame if it's sound, then check the lintel and reveals before fitting the box behind the lintel and the guides to the reveals. Without swing-out arms you may gain a little clear width. Extra work, such as a new lintel or building out the reveals, is priced on survey.
