What should I know about insulated roller garage doors in Waltham Abbey?

Decide whether you want extras such as battery backup or a wireless keypad, so they can be included in the written quote rather than added later.
Check whether the garage has other weak spots, such as a single-glazed window or a gappy side door, that will still let heat out after the new door goes in.
Check whether the floor dips or rises across the opening, because an uneven floor can leave a gap under the bottom rail that lets draughts in.
If the garage is integral, consider how much cold air and noise currently reaches the rooms that share a wall or ceiling with it.

Rules that apply in Waltham Abbey

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.

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.

Insulated roller garage doors in Waltham Abbey: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Waltham Abbey?

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.

Is the survey in Waltham Abbey 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.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Waltham Abbey?

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 Waltham Abbey garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in EN9?

At a survey in EN9 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 insulation be added to my existing roller door?

Not in a practical way. The foam sits between the two aluminium skins of each lath when it's made, so a single-skin curtain can't simply be filled or lined. Getting insulated laths means a new curtain, and because the box and barrel need to suit the larger roll, that normally means a new door, which we can quote as a replacement.

Is an insulated door worth it for a detached garage?

It depends on how you use the garage. If it's only for parking or storing tools, single-skin laths may be enough. If you work out there, store anything that dislikes the cold, or want it quieter, insulated laths are worth the extra cost. Remember the walls, roof and floor also let heat out, so the door is only part of the picture.
