What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Braintree?
- Look at the lintel and the brickwork around the opening, as a rated door relies on sound masonry for its fixings.
- Ask to see the certificate for the exact door model in your quote, and check that the model name and rating match.
- 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.

Rules that apply in Braintree
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 Braintree: questions
Can I get a price for Braintree 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Braintree?
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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Braintree?
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 Braintree garage so you can compare.
Is the survey in Braintree really free?
Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.
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.
Will a security-rated garage door lower my home insurance?
We can't promise that. Some insurers ask about garage security, but each one sets its own terms and decides what, if anything, it takes into account. Before choosing a door for insurance reasons, ask your insurer what they would need to see, and keep the product certificate and commissioning paperwork somewhere safe in case they ask for it.
