What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Canterbury?
- 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.
- Think about what the garage connects to, because an integral garage with a door into the house may need more protection than a detached store.
- Look at the lintel and the brickwork around the opening, as a rated door relies on sound masonry for its fixings.

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 Canterbury: questions
Do you cover Canterbury?
Yes. Canterbury is part of the area we cover in Kent, including CT1 and CT2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Canterbury?
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 Canterbury. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you charge more for Canterbury than other towns in Kent?
No. Guide prices are the same for Canterbury as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Canterbury?
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.
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.
