What should I know about aluminium roller garage doors in Swanley?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
How does it work in Swanley?
We then arrange a free survey at your home in Swanley to measure the opening, headroom and side room and to check the lintel and power. You receive a written quote naming the exact door, lath and finish.

Rules that apply in Swanley
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.
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 Swanley: questions
Do you cover Swanley?
Yes. Swanley is part of the area we cover in Kent, including BR8, BR5 and DA4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I get a price for Swanley 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Swanley?
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 Swanley. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Can you remove my old garage door in Swanley?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Swanley address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.
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 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.
