What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Durham?
- Ask to see the certificate for the exact door model in your quote, and check that the model name and rating match.
- 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.
- Check with your insurer whether they ask for anything specific about garage doors before you choose a rating.
- 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 Durham
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 Durham: questions
What do you check at a survey in DH1?
At a survey in DH1 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 Durham 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 charge more for Durham than other towns in County Durham?
No. Guide prices are the same for Durham as for anywhere else we cover in County Durham. 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Durham?
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 Durham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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.
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.
