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

Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
Check whether the garage has power, because a manual door needs none, while converting to electric later would need a supply near the box.
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.
Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.

Rules that apply in Preston

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.

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 Preston: questions

Is the survey in Preston 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.

Do you charge more for Preston than other towns in Lancashire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Preston as for anywhere else we cover in Lancashire. 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.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Preston?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Preston garage so you can compare.

Do you cover Preston?

Yes. Preston is part of the area we cover in Lancashire, including PR1, PR2 and PR5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
