What should I know about aluminium roller garage doors in Manchester?
- 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.
- On a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant about garage door style or colour before you settle on a finish.

Aluminium roller garage doors in Manchester: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Manchester?
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.
Do you cover Manchester?
Yes. Manchester is part of the area we cover in Greater Manchester, including M2, M1 and M4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
What do you check at a survey in M2?
At a survey in M2 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.
Do you charge more for Manchester than other towns in Greater Manchester?
No. Guide prices are the same for Manchester as for anywhere else we cover in Greater Manchester. 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.
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.
