What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Southend-on-Sea?
- Ask whether extras such as vision laths are covered by the door's certificate before adding them to your order.
- 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.
- 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.

Security-rated roller garage doors in Southend-on-Sea: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Southend-on-Sea?
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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Southend-on-Sea?
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 Southend-on-Sea. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Can I get a price for Southend-on-Sea 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.
Is the survey in Southend-on-Sea 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.
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.
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.
