What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Washington?
- Ask to see the certificate for the exact door model in your quote, and check that the model name and rating match.
- 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.
- 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.

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 Washington: questions
How much do security-rated roller garage doors cost in Washington?
Our guide price for security-rated roller garage doors is from £2,295 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Washington as elsewhere we cover.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Washington?
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 Washington. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Can I get a price for Washington 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.
What do you check at a survey in NE38?
At a survey in NE38 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.
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.
