What should I know about aluminium roller garage doors in Catford?
- On a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant about garage door style or colour before you settle on a finish.
- If you want an electric door, look for a socket or fused spur near the top of the opening where the control box will go.
- 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.

Rules that apply in Catford
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 Catford: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Catford?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Catford. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Catford?
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 an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Catford?
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 Catford garage so you can compare.
What do you check at a survey in SE6?
At a survey in SE6 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.
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.
Is single-skin aluminium enough for my garage?
It depends on how you use the space. For parking, bikes and garden tools, single-skin laths are often all you need. If you use the garage as a workshop, gym or utility area, or it sits beside or below living space, insulated laths reduce heat loss, draughts and noise and are worth the extra cost.
