What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Bodmin?
- Bear in mind that manual doors suit narrower openings best, and wider curtains get heavier to lift even with spring assistance.
- Check whether the garage has power, because a manual door needs none, while converting to electric later would need a supply near the box.
- 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.
- Measure the headroom above the opening, as the coiled curtain still needs a box at the top even without a motor.

Rules that apply in Bodmin
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 Bodmin: questions
How much do manual roller garage doors cost in Bodmin?
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 Bodmin as elsewhere we cover.
Do you charge more for Bodmin than other towns in Cornwall?
No. Guide prices are the same for Bodmin as for anywhere else we cover in Cornwall. 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 Bodmin?
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.
What do you check at a survey in PL31?
At a survey in PL31 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 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.
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.
