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

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 whether the garage has power, because a manual door needs none, while converting to electric later would need a supply near the box.
Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.
Bear in mind that manual doors suit narrower openings best, and wider curtains get heavier to lift even with spring assistance.

Manual roller garage doors in Tyldesley: questions

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Tyldesley?

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 Tyldesley garage so you can compare.

Do you charge more for Tyldesley than other towns in Greater Manchester?

No. Guide prices are the same for Tyldesley as for anywhere else we cover in Greater Manchester. 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 I need permission for a new roller garage door in Tyldesley?

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.

What do you check at a survey in M29?

At a survey in M29 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 have insulated laths on a manual roller door?

Our manual doors use single-skin aluminium laths, and the insulated doors in our price list are electric. So if a warmer, quieter garage is what you're after, you'd be looking at an insulated electric door. Compare the two price bands for your width and think about how you use the space before deciding whether the extra cost is worth it.

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.
