What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Slough?
- Measure the headroom above the opening, as the coiled curtain still needs a box at the top even without a motor.
- 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.
- Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
- Bear in mind that manual doors suit narrower openings best, and wider curtains get heavier to lift even with spring assistance.

Rules that apply in Slough
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 Slough: questions
What do you check at a survey in SL1?
At a survey in SL1 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 Slough?
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.
Do you cover Slough?
Yes. Slough is part of the area we cover in Berkshire, including SL1, SL2 and SL3. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can you remove my old garage door in Slough?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Slough 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 I have insulated laths on a manual roller door?
Our manual doors use single-skin aluminium laths, and the insulated doors in our price list are electric. So if a warmer, quieter garage is what you're after, you'd be looking at an insulated electric door. Compare the two price bands for your width and think about how you use the space before deciding whether the extra cost is worth it.
Do manual roller doors need servicing?
They need less attention than an electric door, but basic care still helps. Keep the guide rails free of leaves and grit, and only use the lubricant the manufacturer recommends, as many doors shouldn't have oil on the guides. If the door becomes heavy to lift, drops on its own or runs unevenly, stop using it and ask for a visit, priced and agreed beforehand.
