What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Tunbridge Wells?

Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
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.
Bear in mind that manual doors suit narrower openings best, and wider curtains get heavier to lift even with spring assistance.
Measure the headroom above the opening, as the coiled curtain still needs a box at the top even without a motor.

Rules that apply in Tunbridge Wells

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.

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.

Manual roller garage doors in Tunbridge Wells: questions

Can I get a price for Tunbridge Wells 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.

How much do manual roller garage doors cost in Tunbridge Wells?

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 Tunbridge Wells as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Tunbridge Wells than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Tunbridge Wells 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.

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

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 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.

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.
