What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in St Albans?
- Check with your insurer whether they ask for anything specific about garage doors before you choose a rating.
- 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.
- 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 St Albans: questions
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in St Albans?
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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in St Albans?
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 St Albans garage so you can compare.
Do you charge more for St Albans than other towns in Hertfordshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for St Albans as for anywhere else we cover in Hertfordshire. 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 you remove my old garage door in St Albans?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your St Albans address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.
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.
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.
