What should I know about steel roller garage doors in Kempston?
- Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.
- Check the lintel above the opening for cracks or sagging, since a heavier steel curtain relies on sound fixings at the top.
- Look at the brick or blockwork on each side of the opening, as the guide rails for a steel door need solid reveals to fix to.
- Find out whether there's a socket or fused spur near the box position, since every steel door we price is electric.

Rules that apply in Kempston
Electrics
An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.
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.
Steel roller garage doors in Kempston: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Kempston?
Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Kempston?
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.
How much do steel roller garage doors cost in Kempston?
Our guide price for steel roller garage doors is from £1,345 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 Kempston as elsewhere we cover.
Can I get a price for Kempston 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.
Why are steel doors over 4 m wide priced on survey?
Our standard steel price list covers single openings up to 2.4 m and doubles of 3.0 to 4.0 m; other widths are priced on survey. A wider steel door needs the opening, lintel and fixing points checked individually before the right door can be specified, so we price it after the survey rather than from a table. For openings up to about 5.5 m, insulated aluminium doors have a set price band you can see online.
Is a steel door the right choice for a row of lock-ups?
It can be, particularly where a stiffer curtain appeals for garages that are opened less often. Every steel door in our price list is electric, though, so each garage needs a power supply near its box. Where lock-ups have no power, manual aluminium doors may be more practical. We can survey and price a whole row together.
