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

  • Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.
  • Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
  • Measure the headroom above the opening, as the coiled curtain still needs a box at the top even without a motor.
  • Bear in mind that manual doors suit narrower openings best, and wider curtains get heavier to lift even with spring assistance.

Rules that apply in Tonbridge

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.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Manual roller garage doors in Tonbridge: questions

How much do manual roller garage doors cost in Tonbridge?

Our guide price for manual roller garage doors is from £895 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Tonbridge as elsewhere we cover.

Is the survey in Tonbridge 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.

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

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 you remove my old garage door in Tonbridge?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Tonbridge 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.

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.

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.
