What should I know about steel roller garage doors in Bodmin?
- Think about whether battery backup is worth adding, so the door keeps working for a limited number of cycles when the power is off.
- Compare steel with insulated aluminium if a warmer garage is a priority, as it's the foam-filled lath that reduces heat loss.
- Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.
- Ask to see the security certificate if resistance to forced entry matters, because steel on its own doesn't make a door security-rated.

Rules that apply in Bodmin
Structural work
Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.
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 Bodmin: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Bodmin?
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 Bodmin. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Bodmin?
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.
Do you charge more for Bodmin than other towns in Cornwall?
No. Guide prices are the same for Bodmin as for anywhere else we cover in Cornwall. 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.
What do you check at a survey in PL31?
At a survey in PL31 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.
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.
Can I have a manual steel roller door?
The steel doors in our price list are electric, because a steel curtain is heavier than an aluminium one and the tubular motor does the lifting. If you want a hand-operated door, our manual doors use single-skin aluminium laths. Where there's no socket near the box, a qualified electrician can fit a fused spur from an existing circuit, shown as a separate line in your quote; a new supply to a garage with no power is priced on survey.
