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

Bear in mind that manual doors suit narrower openings best, and wider curtains get heavier to lift even with spring assistance.
Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
If the door is for a lock-up or garage court, list each opening separately, as every door is measured and priced for its own opening.
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 Stowmarket

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.

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 Stowmarket: questions

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

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 Stowmarket garage so you can compare.

Can you remove my old garage door in Stowmarket?

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

Can I get a price for Stowmarket 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 long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Stowmarket?

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.

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 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.
