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

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.
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 Swanley: questions
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Swanley?
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 Swanley garage so you can compare.
Can I get a price for Swanley 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 Swanley 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.
Do you cover Swanley?
Yes. Swanley is part of the area we cover in Kent, including BR8, BR5 and DA4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
