What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Welwyn Garden City?

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.
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.
Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.

Manual roller garage doors in Welwyn Garden City: questions

What do you check at a survey in AL8?

At a survey in AL8 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.

Is the survey in Welwyn Garden City 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Welwyn Garden City?

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 Welwyn Garden City. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you cover Welwyn Garden City?

Yes. Welwyn Garden City is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including AL8, AL7 and AL6. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.
