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

Check whether the garage has power, because a manual door needs none, while converting to electric later would need a supply near the box.
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.
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.

Rules that apply in Walsall

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.

Structural work

Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.

Manual roller garage doors in Walsall: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Walsall?

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

What do you check at a survey in WS1?

At a survey in WS1 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.

Can I get a price for Walsall 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.

Do you cover Walsall?

Yes. Walsall is part of the area we cover in the West Midlands, including WS1, WS2 and WS5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can I fit a manual roller door to a garage with no electricity?

Yes, and that's one of its main advantages. A manual door needs no motor, no control box and no power supply, so it suits detached garages, lock-ups and outbuildings without electrics. If you want an electric door there later, a qualified electrician would need to provide a fused spur, which adds cost and depends on getting a supply to the garage.

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.
