What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Earley?
- Check whether the garage has power, because a manual door needs none, while converting to electric later would need a supply near the box.
- Think about who will open the door and how often, since a manual curtain has to be lifted and pulled down by hand every time.
- If the door is for a lock-up or garage court, list each opening separately, as every door is measured and priced for its own opening.
- Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.

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.
Manual roller garage doors in Earley: questions
What do you check at a survey in RG6?
At a survey in RG6 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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Earley?
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 Earley garage so you can compare.
How much do manual roller garage doors cost in Earley?
Our guide price for manual roller garage doors is from £895 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Earley as elsewhere we cover.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Earley?
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 a manual roller door be converted to electric later?
Only if the existing door is right for it. A manual-to-electric conversion needs the curtain, barrel, box and guides to be sound and compatible with a tubular motor, and a power supply has to be added near the box. We check all of this at a free survey. If the door isn't suitable, we'll tell you plainly and price a new electric door.
Can I fit a manual roller door to a garage with no electricity?
Yes, and that's one of its main advantages. A manual door needs no motor, no control box and no power supply, so it suits detached garages, lock-ups and outbuildings without electrics. If you want an electric door there later, a qualified electrician would need to provide a fused spur, which adds cost and depends on getting a supply to the garage.
