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

Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.
Measure the headroom above the opening, as the coiled curtain still needs a box at the top even without a motor.
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.
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 Eltham

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.

Structural work

Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.

Manual roller garage doors in Eltham: questions

What do you check at a survey in SE9?

At a survey in SE9 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 you charge more for Eltham than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Eltham 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.

Can I get a price for Eltham 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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Eltham?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Eltham 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 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.

Is a manual roller door a good fit for a garage court or lock-up?

Often, yes. Manual roller doors are practical for private garage courts and lock-ups owned by landlords, residents' associations or management companies, especially where individual garages have no power. We can survey and price several doors together, and each opening is measured separately so every door is made for its own opening.
