What should I know about aluminium roller garage doors in Loughton?
- Check there is roughly 75 to 100 mm of solid wall on each side of the opening for the aluminium guide rails to fix to.
- Think about whether the finish should match your windows, front door or fascias, since RAL colours and woodgrain are available as a priced extra.
- 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.
- On a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant about garage door style or colour before you settle on a finish.

Rules that apply in Loughton
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.
Aluminium roller garage doors in Loughton: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Loughton?
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 Loughton 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.
How much do aluminium roller garage doors cost in Loughton?
Our guide price for aluminium roller garage doors is from £895 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Loughton as elsewhere we cover.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Loughton?
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.
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.
Can a manual aluminium roller door be made electric later?
Sometimes. A manual door can be converted to electric only if its curtain, barrel, box and guide rails are sound and compatible with a motor. If they aren't, we'll tell you at survey and price a new door instead. If you expect to want electric operation within a few years, it's usually simpler to choose it from the start.
