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

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.
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.
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 Washington

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.

Insulated roller garage doors in Washington: questions

Do you cover Washington?

Yes. Washington is part of the area we cover in Tyne and Wear, including NE38, NE37 and DH3. 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 NE38?

At a survey in NE38 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 I need permission for a new roller garage door in Washington?

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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Washington?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Washington 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.

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.

Are insulated roller doors available in different colours?

Yes. Insulated doors come in the manufacturer's standard range finishes, and you can choose a RAL colour or a woodgrain effect as a priced extra. Colours outside the manufacturer's range are priced on survey. If you're matching windows or a front door, have the RAL code to hand when you ask for a guide price.
