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

Measure the headroom above the opening, as the coiled curtain still needs a box at the top even without a motor.
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 the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
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 Broadstairs: questions

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Broadstairs?

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 get a price for Broadstairs without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Do you charge more for Broadstairs than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Broadstairs as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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.

What do you check at a survey in CT10?

At a survey in CT10 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 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.
