What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Reading?
- Count the remote fobs your household needs and plan where they'll live, as a lost fob should be recoded out of the system.
- Consider battery backup if the garage is your main way in, so the door keeps working for a limited number of cycles in a power cut.
- Think about what the garage connects to, because an integral garage with a door into the house may need more protection than a detached store.
- Ask to see the certificate for the exact door model in your quote, and check that the model name and rating match.

Rules that apply in Reading
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.
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.
Security-rated roller garage doors in Reading: questions
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Reading?
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 Reading garage so you can compare.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Reading?
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 Reading. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Reading?
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 you charge more for Reading than other towns in Berkshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Reading as for anywhere else we cover in Berkshire. 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.
Is a higher LPS 1175 rating always better for a house?
A higher rating means the door resisted a more serious attack for longer in testing, but that doesn't make it the right choice for every home. Think about what the garage connects to, what's stored inside and what your insurer asks for. We'll explain the ratings available on the models we can supply and show you each certificate, so you can decide.
Can my existing roller door be upgraded to a security rating?
No. A rating applies to a complete door model as the manufacturer had it tested, so adding locks or parts to an existing door doesn't make it rated. If you want a certificated door, it has to be a new door of a rated model. Some changes still help, such as recoding lost remotes on a visit that is priced and agreed before we come out.
