What should I know about steel roller garage doors in Newtownabbey?

Compare steel with insulated aluminium if a warmer garage is a priority, as it's the foam-filled lath that reduces heat loss.
Check the lintel above the opening for cracks or sagging, since a heavier steel curtain relies on sound fixings at the top.
Measure the width of your opening, because our steel price list covers singles up to 2.4 m and doubles of 3.0 to 4.0 m, and other widths are priced on survey.
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 Newtownabbey

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Northern Ireland, but electrical work must still meet BS 7671 and be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Structural work

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need building control approval from your council under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 before work starts.

Steel roller garage doors in Newtownabbey: questions

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Newtownabbey?

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 Newtownabbey garage so you can compare.

Can I get a price for Newtownabbey 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 Newtownabbey 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.

What do you check at a survey in BT37?

At a survey in BT37 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.

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.

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.
