What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Lerwick?
- Measure the headroom above the opening, as the coiled curtain still needs a box at the top even without a motor.
- 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.
- 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.

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.
Planning
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.
Manual roller garage doors in Lerwick: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Lerwick?
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 Lerwick. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
What do you check at a survey in ZE1?
At a survey in ZE1 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 you remove my old garage door in Lerwick?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Lerwick 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Lerwick?
Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.
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.
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.
