What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Greater London?

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.
Check whether the garage has power, because a manual door needs none, while converting to electric later would need a supply near the box.

Rules that apply in England

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.

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.

Questions about manual roller garage doors in Greater London

Which towns do you cover in Greater London?

We cover Greater London, including Westminster, Islington, Sutton and Croydon. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Greater London online.

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

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.

How do I book a survey in Greater London?

Start with the guide price tool or the form on this page. We then contact you to arrange a free survey for a new door, replacement or conversion, and confirm the date in writing.

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 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.
