What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Widnes?
- Check with your insurer whether they ask for anything specific about garage doors before you choose a rating.
- Look at the lintel and the brickwork around the opening, as a rated door relies on sound masonry for its fixings.
- 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.
- Count the remote fobs your household needs and plan where they'll live, as a lost fob should be recoded out of the system.

Rules that apply in Widnes
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 Widnes: questions
Do you charge more for Widnes than other towns in Cheshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Widnes as for anywhere else we cover in Cheshire. 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.
Can you remove my old garage door in Widnes?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Widnes 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Widnes?
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.
What do you check at a survey in WA8?
At a survey in WA8 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 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.
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.
