What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Washington?
- Check the floor across the opening is level, because the bottom rail needs to sit evenly for the lock to engage properly.
- Bear in mind that manual doors suit narrower openings best, and wider curtains get heavier to lift even with spring assistance.
- 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.

Manual roller garage doors in Washington: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Washington?
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 I message you a photo of my garage in Washington?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Washington. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you charge more for Washington than other towns in Tyne and Wear?
No. Guide prices are the same for Washington as for anywhere else we cover in Tyne and Wear. 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.
Can I get a price for Washington 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.
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.
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.
