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

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.
Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.
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.
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 Horsham

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.

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.

Manual roller garage doors in Horsham: questions

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

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.

What do you check at a survey in RH12?

At a survey in RH12 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.

Do you charge more for Horsham than other towns in West Sussex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Horsham as for anywhere else we cover in West Sussex. 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.

Do you cover Horsham?

Yes. Horsham is part of the area we cover in West Sussex, including RH12 and RH13. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

Is a manual roller door a good fit for a garage court or lock-up?

Often, yes. Manual roller doors are practical for private garage courts and lock-ups owned by landlords, residents' associations or management companies, especially where individual garages have no power. We can survey and price several doors together, and each opening is measured separately so every door is made for its own opening.
