What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Putney?
- 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.
- Measure the headroom above the opening, as the coiled curtain still needs a box at the top even without a motor.
- 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 Putney
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.
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 Putney: questions
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Putney?
That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Putney garage so you can compare.
How much do manual roller garage doors cost in Putney?
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 Putney as elsewhere we cover.
What do you check at a survey in SW15?
At a survey in SW15 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Putney?
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 Putney. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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.
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.
