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

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.
Bear in mind that manual doors suit narrower openings best, and wider curtains get heavier to lift even with spring assistance.
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.

Rules that apply in Catford

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 Catford: questions

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Catford?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Catford. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you charge more for Catford than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Catford as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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 you cover Catford?

Yes. Catford is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SE6, SE13 and SE4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is the survey in Catford 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.

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.
