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

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.
Look for a socket or fused spur near the top of the opening, as every insulated door in our price list is electric.
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.
Think about how the garage will be used in future, since choosing insulated laths now avoids replacing the door if it becomes a hobby or utility space.

Rules that apply in Swansea

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in Wales some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

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 in Wales before it starts.

Insulated roller garage doors in Swansea: questions

Do you charge more for Swansea than other towns in West Glamorgan?

No. Guide prices are the same for Swansea as for anywhere else we cover in West Glamorgan. 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.

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

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales, 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 Swansea 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 Swansea?

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 Swansea garage so you can compare.

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.

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.
