What should I know about aluminium roller garage doors in Hertford?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Hertford
Structural work
Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.
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.
Aluminium roller garage doors in Hertford: questions
Do you charge more for Hertford than other towns in Hertfordshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Hertford as for anywhere else we cover in Hertfordshire. 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Hertford?
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.
Can I get a price for Hertford without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
What do you check at a survey in SG13?
At a survey in SG13 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 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.
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.
