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

Ask to see the security certificate if resistance to forced entry matters, because steel on its own doesn't make a door security-rated.
Compare steel with insulated aluminium if a warmer garage is a priority, as it's the foam-filled lath that reduces heat loss.
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.
Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.

Rules that apply in Ripley

Powered door safety

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.

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.

Steel roller garage doors in Ripley: questions

Is the survey in Ripley 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Ripley?

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 Ripley. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

What do you check at a survey in DE5?

At a survey in DE5 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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Ripley?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Ripley address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

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.

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.
