What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Canterbury?
- 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.
- 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.
- Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.

Rules that apply in Canterbury
Powered door safety
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.
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.
Manual roller garage doors in Canterbury: questions
Can you remove my old garage door in Canterbury?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Canterbury 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 Canterbury?
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.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Canterbury?
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.
Do you charge more for Canterbury than other towns in Kent?
No. Guide prices are the same for Canterbury 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.
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.
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.
