What should I know about manual roller garage doors in South Glamorgan?

Measure the headroom above the opening, as the coiled curtain still needs a box at the top even without a motor.
Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
Look at the reveals on each side for solid masonry, because the guide rails need roughly 75 to 100 mm of wall to fix to.
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.

Rules that apply in Wales

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), is in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.

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.

Questions about manual roller garage doors in South Glamorgan

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in South Glamorgan?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales, 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.

Are guide prices the same across South Glamorgan?

Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in South Glamorgan. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.

How do I book a survey in South Glamorgan?

Start with the guide price tool or the form on this page. We then contact you to arrange a free survey for a new door, replacement or conversion, and confirm the date in writing.

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.
