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

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 Acton: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Acton?
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 Acton. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Acton?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Do you cover Acton?
Yes. Acton is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including W3, W5 and W4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
What do you check at a survey in W3?
At a survey in W3 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.
