What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Chester?
- Look at the lintel and the brickwork around the opening, as a rated door relies on sound masonry for its fixings.
- Check with your insurer whether they ask for anything specific about garage doors before you choose a rating.
- Decide where the manual override will be kept inside the garage, so it's easy for you to find but not obvious to anyone else.
- Ask whether extras such as vision laths are covered by the door's certificate before adding them to your order.

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 Chester: questions
Do you cover Chester?
Yes. Chester is part of the area we cover in Cheshire, including CH1 and CH2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I get a price for Chester 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.
What do you check at a survey in CH1?
At a survey in CH1 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Chester?
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.
Does a security-rated roller door have a manual override?
Like most electric roller doors, it normally has a manual override for power cuts, usually an internal crank or winding handle. Where the garage has no other way in, an external override may be possible, though it's worth thinking about where it sits. Battery backup is another option, running the door for a limited number of cycles while the power is off.
Are security-rated roller doors also insulated?
Yes. The security-rated doors in our price list are insulated electric doors, so you get foam-filled laths that reduce heat loss, draughts and noise as well as tested resistance to forced entry. Insulated laths make a larger roll in the box, though, so the headroom above your opening is checked carefully at survey.
