What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Kelso?
- Check whether the garage has power, because a manual door needs none, while converting to electric later would need a supply near the box.
- Measure the headroom above the opening, as the coiled curtain still needs a box at the top even without a motor.
- Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.
- 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 Kelso: questions
Do you charge more for Kelso than other towns in the Scottish Borders?
No. Guide prices are the same for Kelso as for anywhere else we cover in the Scottish Borders. 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 TD5?
At a survey in TD5 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.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Kelso?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
How much do manual roller garage doors cost in Kelso?
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 Kelso as elsewhere we cover.
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 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.
