What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Surbiton?
- Check whether the garage has power, because a manual door needs none, while converting to electric later would need a supply near the box.
- Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
- 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 Surbiton
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.
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.
Manual roller garage doors in Surbiton: questions
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Surbiton?
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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Surbiton?
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 Surbiton garage so you can compare.
Can you remove my old garage door in Surbiton?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Surbiton 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.
Do you charge more for Surbiton than other towns in Greater London?
No. Guide prices are the same for Surbiton 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 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.
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.
