What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Shirley?
- 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.
- Bear in mind that manual doors suit narrower openings best, and wider curtains get heavier to lift even with spring assistance.
- 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 Shirley
Planning
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.
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 Shirley: questions
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Shirley?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Shirley?
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 Shirley. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
How much do manual roller garage doors cost in Shirley?
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 Shirley as elsewhere we cover.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Shirley?
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 Shirley garage so you can compare.
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.
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.
