What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Hitchin?
- Look at the lintel and the brickwork around the opening, as a rated door relies on sound masonry for its fixings.
- 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.
- 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.

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 Hitchin: questions
Can I get a price for Hitchin 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 I need permission for a new roller garage door in Hitchin?
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.
What do you check at a survey in SG5?
At a survey in SG5 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.
Do you cover Hitchin?
Yes. Hitchin is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including SG5 and SG4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
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.
