What should I know about insulated roller garage doors in Rochester?

Measure the headroom above the opening carefully, because insulated laths make a bigger roll than single-skin and need a deeper box.
Wider openings usually suit 77 mm laths for rigidity, so expect the lath size to be confirmed once the width has been measured at survey.
If the garage is integral, consider how much cold air and noise currently reaches the rooms that share a wall or ceiling with it.
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.

How does it work in Rochester?

A free survey at your home in Rochester then confirms the lath size, box position and power supply. You get a written quote with the exact door, extras and total price, including VAT.

Rules that apply in Rochester

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.

Insulated roller garage doors in Rochester: questions

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

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 Rochester garage so you can compare.

Can you remove my old garage door in Rochester?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Rochester 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 long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Rochester?

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 Rochester?

Yes. Rochester is part of the area we cover in Kent, including ME1, ME2 and ME4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is an insulated door more secure than a single-skin one?

Not automatically. Insulation and burglary resistance are separate qualities. How well a door resists attack depends on how that specific manufacturer's model has been tested, for example to LPS 1175 or STS 202. If security is a priority, look at our security-rated doors, which are also insulated, and we'll show you the certificate for the exact model.

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.
