What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Wokingham?

Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.
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.
Look at the reveals on each side for solid masonry, because the guide rails need roughly 75 to 100 mm of wall to fix to.
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 Wokingham

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.

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.

Manual roller garage doors in Wokingham: questions

Can I get a price for Wokingham without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Is the survey in Wokingham 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.

Do you charge more for Wokingham than other towns in Berkshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Wokingham as for anywhere else we cover in Berkshire. 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 Wokingham?

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 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.

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.
